lol at people trying to retcon history and pretend the Y2K bug wasn't real.

I literally worked for like a year from late 1998 to the end of 1999 to fix databases of utility companies and health systems to not, you know, completely and utterly fail come January 1st, 2000.

@thomasfuchs what? Now we have y2k denialists?

@f4grx @thomasfuchs even better, we already have tons of y2k38 minimalists (need better word here :meow_googlytrash: ). "Just upgrade to a 64 bit os, problem solved!" I can't even :meow_angry_intensifies:

It's mind boggling how people who have no clue about software development can be so confidently incorrect.

@hotkey @f4grx @thomasfuchs to be fair many people who do understand software development have plenty of things they're confidently incorrect about.
