> It's infuriating.
I worked on a Y2K project in 98-99 for a major car manufacturer. They tested the ERP system for Y2K (in 1997) and it failed, in a way that would make the business fail. They replaced it via this project and the business continued to be successful without interruption.
Same.
I worked on multiple enterprise projects for Y2K where we advanced the dates on the customer's system and ran it so we could see the magnitude of the problems and prioritize the remediation process.
There were some things that were temporarily annoying and there were some things that were critical to the business and could not be worked around manually by throwing people at it, the system needed to be fixed.
