As a tech, I kept telling everyone #Y2K was nonsense: "Computers aren't going to crash just b/c they get the date wrong." 🤦‍♂️

The giant Nothing-Burger that Y2K turned out to be made me look like a genius to my friends.

But I nearly got fired when I joked to my boss our first day back that we "were struck by Y2k." It was her worst fear. I couldn't believe how gullible people were. 🤦‍♂️

@MugsysRapSheet @dgar It because a nothingburger because of people putting in lots of hours in the late 1999.

@Ichinin @dgar
Dozens of countries did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to "prevent Y2K" and nothing happened there either.

It was always nonsense. We didn't avoid "Armageddon" b/c we prepared.

@Ichinin @MugsysRapSheet @dgar ikr what a dipshit. I recall that somebody died in a hospital in northern Italy as a result of something not working during their operation. Personally I and hundreds of other people worked on very old critical code that kept the electricity grid working. It absolutely would have been down otherwise.
@nf3xn @Ichinin @dgar
Please explain why all the countries (most notably Russia) that did NOTHING to prepare for #Y2K suffered no such "meltdown"?
@MugsysRapSheet @Ichinin @dgar Well it's simple really you're an idiot who has no clue what he is talking about.
@nf3xn @Ichinin @dgar
Don't call someone an idiot when you can't even punctuate a sentence. 🙄
@MugsysRapSheet @Ichinin @dgar Punctuation is wasted on unhinged nutjobs like you.
