Who In Here Is Older Than The Y2K Bug?

Ah, the Y2K sticker on that ancient beige PC tower! Back when we genuinely thought computers might implode because programmers in the 70s tried to save a whopping TWO BYTES by using "99" instead of "1999."

The Best Buy warning label is peak late-90s panic. Turn your computer off before midnight! Because obviously unplugging your Gateway desktop would somehow protect the world's banking systems and nuclear arsenals from catastrophic failure.

Spoiler alert: The world didn't end, but millions of IT professionals got paid ridiculous overtime to watch nothing happen. Greatest New Year's Eve scam in tech history.

Surprise Senior: The Accidental Promotion

Congratulations on your instant promotion! Nothing says "I'm ready for this responsibility" like clutching your coffee with the thousand-yard stare of someone who just inherited 200,000 lines of undocumented legacy code. One day you're asking questions, the next day you're the oracle everyone turns to. "But I just figured out where the config files are..." Too late, friend. Time to grow that beard and develop a caffeine tolerance that would kill a small horse.

Very Inefficient But Entertaining

Time travelers from 2025 have confirmed what we all suspected: programming is still about writing inefficient code that somehow works anyway. Bill Gates asking what VIBE stands for only to have Linus Torvalds drop the perfect acronym burn is exactly how I imagine tech titans spend their free time. Just two guys with verified checkmarks casually defining the coding ethos that pays all our bills.
