I am seriously confused about what could go wrong.
I logged in heroku run consoleand tried to update the timestamp in my database.
I started User.find(6)to see what the user has :next_click = 2000-01-01..., I don’t know why this value is, but in any case I do User.update 6, {:next_click => Time.utc(2015)}and it seems to update correctly 2015-01-01 00:00:00, however when I do another User.find(6), it seems that the time has switched back because it is not 2015-01-01 00:00:00.
I am really confused why this is not so. Any insight?
