@CAFCA47@mastodon.scot Y2K was a very real problem—I was in a dot-com, a payment service provider, in 1997-2000 and the banks were collectively shitting themselves over 40 years of technical debt. The only reason there wasn't a disaster was because all the (entirely justified) doom-mongering stuck a cattle prod up the collective arse of the bank boardrooms and regulators and they *fixed it*.
