I didn’t know much about y2k, I was just a kid and my family wasn’t tech savvy and hated the idea of me ever touching a computer, which given my hobbies now is extremely ironic, but I know enough about the IT field to know a lot of people worked very hard to fix it.
I don’t know the extent of how bad it would have been, I’m a Linux hobbyist, not a technical engineer, but I’m sure it would have been bad.

It would’ve been a lot less catastrophic than people made it out to be.
Pro tip: the Unix epoch rollover is coming, too! OOOOooooOOOOOoooo
