K how is this much different from the year 2000 scare that turned out completely uneventful from my standpoint as like, at best a power user or expert? I mean, if some code by then has ossified that long, no dev updates that code and not enough users are support the maintenance of their code… like we don’t know what we don’t know in a lot of respects because we can I hope agree 2038 is still pretty far off so we’re aware of the potential severity of problems with this bug but kinda pretty uncertain still how much anyone should care or direct resources to trying to squash every bug… the original message (year 2000) was hey maybe try and plan your code so if it cares about calendars and such you gotta think about the consequences of that clock rolling over and starting again in the process. 24 years ago already I guarantee you there are 20 year old devs who are writing code might not even have ever heard of Y2K problem.

Plan for success, prepare for the worst in this case obviously which doesn’t really say much except you have the choice which way you direct your energy. You can also direct your thoughts to the “well Y2K had a similar situation, turned out fine. Am I being paranoid now or complacent?” Won’t know until 2038 🤷🏼🍿
