And people didn’t learn after the “Y2K” scare. if I saw 01/02/03 I’d think Jan 2 1903 but I’m old 
Old and American?
I loved Y2K 
- I went back on contract to review code that was written 10 years earlier - by the team I was a member of 10 years prior
- I got paid very well for that plus the fact I replaced 9 people and did their jobs as well
- I made precisely 0 changes to the code we’d crafted 10 years earlier - that was a nice feeling
Every date was stored as YYYYMMDD from the get go
Funny, i’m working in a hospital at the moment and in the basement is an old (c1960) boiler control panel, all hardware, relays etc etc not one processor. The enclosure has a Y2K COMPLIANT sticker on the front of it. It made me laugh. Oh what money was made in 1999 out of a huge scare that amounted to nothing. I don’t think there will ever be anything to worry about until 31 December 9999.
Apple will have changed the way we do dates in 9999, just like everything else stolen from Star Trek, and no I’m not American
the video is up for download/viewing now…
FWIW, I ask everyone I can to display dates with an alphanumeric month, not with digits, and in the “european” order, i.e. day, month, year. That makes it so much less ambiguous to interpret a date, while still not looking as ugly as an ISO date
See for yourself:
10/02/11 vs. 02 Oct 11
