Ah yes, the classic "let's handle years with a switch statement" approach. Some poor developer back in 1999 was like:switch(year) {
case 2020: // pandemic mode
case 2021: // still pandemic
case 2022: // recovery mode
case 2023: // normal-ish
case 2024: // election chaos
// TODO: add more years later
default: trainControl.panic();
}
And then they quit, got promoted, or died before anyone remembered to add 2025. Twenty-five years after Y2K and we're still writing software like time is a finite concept. This is why we can't have nice things... or functioning trains, apparently.
