I'm really curious how 2038 is going to play out.

I think it's either going to be a retirement plan for many who are young-ish IT people right now, or "optimists hoard gold, pessimists hoard cans and ammo" time with the pessimists being right. And a lot of this depends on how decision makers will remember Y2k.

Nobody is going to waste as much money on it as they did with Y2K and it's way more common for computers to actually use epoch time... but I think almost everything uses 64-bit time now and we're still more than a decade away.

(Don't reply with examples of things that use 32-bit time.)

I think 64 bit time is reasonably common in memory, but 32 bit time is common in serialized formats (both for storage and communication/exchange).
