as a gen Z I still don't get why Y2K was such a big deal
It was actually a bit of a big deal. Luckily it got figured out with enough time to fix it before it really effected anything. They were pulling cobalt programmers out of retirement to fix old systems and auditing anything important for years before 2000.
I now classify anyone who knows how to program cobol as a cobalt programmer. XD.
