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. 🤦‍♂️

I REPEAT: Dozens of countries DID NOTHING and nothing happened (Russia being one of those countries.)

Their computers didn't crash. Power grids didn't shutdown. Rockets didn't launch.

And it had nothing to do with the efforts of programmers in the U.S. or UK (I was there too.)

LOL.

"Dgar" called me a "clown" and blocked me for refusing to believe that fixing some Y2K code in the U.S. somehow "saved the whole world" (including Russia, which did absolutely nothing and suffered no catastrophe.)
