Time is possibly one of the hardest things to handle properly for a coder. There's plenty of hard problems (network loss, 3 phase commits, etc), but time stand out as really annoying.

Another one is colors. All it takes is one library to encode colors in a weird way and then mapping them between libraries is a mess.

Time is annoying, but it's mostly solved. The problem is people don't use the solutions and make their own things that don't actually work.
