Why Ten K Programmers Facing Galactic Date Crisis

Y2K but make it space. Future programmers will stare into the void just like this when they realize all their systems store years as 4-digit integers. The face of a developer who just calculated how many legacy codebases need refactoring across thousands of planets. That's not exhaustion—that's the realization that management approved the budget for exactly half the time needed to fix it.

Fun fact: The original Y2K bug cost $300 billion to fix. The Y10K bug will probably cost whatever the galactic equivalent of "your firstborn child and your retirement fund" is.
