Famous last words.
- perl4ever 5y agoI know of a system that uses "1/1/2099" everywhere an "infinity" date is needed. The problem with fixing it, is nobody thinks it will be their problem.
- soared 5y agoMy employer uses the year 2041 for infinity. It will be a truly massive disaster when that year arrives. There is tens of millions of dollars of advertising spend that is paused until “infinity”.
- grishka 5y agoWhenever advertising stops working, the world becomes a better place.
- KETHERCORTEX 5y agoAs far as I understood, according to soared's comment, a lot of advertising campaigns will _start again_ in 2041.
- taneq 5y agoRealistically these particular people are right though.
