And now that every time library has been updated, we’re safe until our grandchildren reimplement those bugs in a language that has not yet been invented.
I went to uni in the mid 90s when Y2K prep was all the rage, went back to do another degree 20 years later. It was interesting to see the graffiti in the CS toilets. Two digits up to about 1996, four digits for a decade, then back to two.
2100 and 2400 will be a shitshow
Not as much as 2038
Yeah that’s a different shitshow but agreed it is likely to be worse - like y2k the effects are smeared out before and after the date.
2038 will certainly be a shit show
Yeah but I’ll be dead so not my problem lmao
Nah.
Same thing happened in 2000 and it was a mouse’s fart.
Because of months of preparation. I know, I was doing it.

I’ve already seen reimplementation of 2 digit dates here and there.
LOL fuck those guys.
Fortunately I will not be involved. Hopefully I can make something from 2038 though.
You’re not the only one forseeing a nice consultant payday there.

Luckily, none of us will be there.
Why
2100 not a leap year (divisible by 100). 2400 is a leap year (divisible by 400). Developing for dates is a minefield.
Now imagine working on non Georgian, and the year is 2060
Won’t the computer’s clock reset every time you go to sleep and stop cranking the power generator?
Yeah who knows if our computers are sticks by either date
