nekevss··on JavaScript Temporal is coming
It's going to depend on the implementation and the system. The implementation will probably end up needing to define a time zone provider, which will ultimately be provided by host/system hooks provided to Temporal from the engine implementation.

Agreed this sounds like they are looking for Intl.DurationFormatter.

Temporal.Duration.prototype.toLocaleString will end up using Intl.DurationFormatter though, so that will ultimately be what he wants (probably going to depend on that ICU4X implementation being complete though).

nekevss··on High-documentation, low-meeting work culture
Anecdotally, as someone who got a Master's in English and had to TA and tutor writing at a college level, it's the schools/universities. English departments are being defunded because Business degrees and Engineering degrees make the schools more money and are seen as more "valuable". So most people with a non-liberal arts degree from the states can barely write above a high school level. But it's good enough.
