my capitalist side remembers that many people made retirement money because of Y2K.

Maybe I should start thinking about an early retirement :)

Well, by 2038 the chatbots will have long since fixed all the time format problems, all our problems, and will be working away at problems of which we cannot concieve.

So, ahem, your “early retirement” is assured?

A year is a lot longer than it used to be. And quickly getting longer. Measured in change.

How exactly? asking for a friend
"You still know php4? We need someone to fix this 50000 loc file that was written in 2005. Willing to pay big money."
Wouldn't it just be a matter of recompiling as 64-bit? No need to mess with the 50000 LOC.
