In hindsight, I'm starting to think that fixing the Y2K bugs was a mistake. Or maybe we shouldn't have fixed all of them. Let a few ATMs and electric plants shutdown, remind us what could have happened. As it is, we ended up complacent because nothing happened when those Chicken Littles said Y2K was going to cause problems.

Don't worry, we'll have Y2038 soon enough, as by then everyone will think that 128bits is the norm and forget that 32bit wasn't that big.

When old ZIP and FAT will break, embedded systems^H^H IoT will also.
