I don’t mean ‘people’ in the abstract. I mean are you doing anything and if so what?

I am an ancient programmer and recall when I wrote COBOL in the late 70’s saying to others in my team “you know – this isn’t going to work in 2000”. To which the reply was “yeah but this system wont be in use by then, that’s 25 years away”.

2038 is 28 years away.

    I add a disclaimer to the release notes of my software that says: Best before 2038.
