Comment (by johnstonphilip):

 FWIW, I was one of those learning devs who completely misunderstood, and
 had to do massive changes and upgrade routines to fix it all.

 I wonder if we could at least remove this out-dated instruction
 [here]https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_time:

     current_time( 'timestamp' ) should be used in lieu of time() to return
 the blog's local time. In WordPress, PHP's time() will always return UTC
 and is the same as calling current_time( 'timestamp', true ).
