      My friend told me there was a shit ton of work done to find and fix every instance if the bug, and they managed to do it, which is why things kept going smoothly.

      I’ve also heard that in some places virtually nothing was done and no problems occurred anyway.

      People really gloss over that there was a lot of work done to make sure y2k wouldn’t be a disaster. It wasn’t exactly a hoax, it was averted

      There was a vast amount of work that went into mitigating it so thinking it was a whole noise about nothing is disingenuous.
