I was doing web dev and running Linux servers for a living in the late 90s. I can assure you the Y2K bug was not something I even worried about in that line of work, because we were working on systems not written in COBOL by idiots to run on mainframes from the 60s. You see, only an idiot would think it could be a good idea to encode a date with a fixed two character year. We were smart, forward thinking people who encoded our dates in intelligently future proof formats which won't fail until 2038, a date so far into the future as to be purely theoretical.
