And not using 32-bit integers to calculate time. Which is still a thing in many many many codebases written in C or C++...
32 bit embedded processors us a lot of 32 bit time, though i am not sure if date time libraries in SDKs have been updated to use 64 bit for time.
Linux kernel updated to 64 bit time quite recently. In 2038 I can guarantee somebody in a very serious business is still using an ancient RHEL and will have issues.
With people turning back system time to use their Trial Software forever all the time, already causing problems with GitLab history, I feel like not many will blink at that.
