Nope, it does not work. Date.UTC returns unix epoch time (milliseconds since UTC midnight on 1 Jan 1970) as an integer. When you use that to construct a new Date it will still be converted to the local time zone.
// zero-based months 🙄newDate(Date.UTC(2018,0/* Jan */,1))<-SunDec31201718:00:00GMT-0600(CentralStandardTime)
The only reason the linked example prints GMT time zone is because Date.toUTCString() is used. But when using the JS Date object, calculations will be off by a day behind in my local time zone.
