The entire galaxy is running on legacy code written by caffeine-addicted devs who couldn't imagine humanity surviving this long! Now we've got to update TRILLIONS of systems while aliens are probably laughing at us. "Most advanced species in the universe" my keyboard! History's greatest tragedy isn't war or famine—it's inadequate date formatting!
