Remember when Y2K was going to potentially end the world, but it didn't thanks to experts working 'round the clock?
Remember when corporations turned around and got pissy because Y2K was successfully avoided, claiming that it was all a big hoax?
Remember how it's now taught in some places that Y2K was a hoax and you can't trust experts?
No wonder the world struggled with COVID.
The reason Y2K wasn't a big deal was through the efforts of software developers and the only recognition they got was the movie Office Space.
Office space is great, to be fair
