Yeah. I've heard folk who should know better (looking at you, John C. Dvorak) call Y2K a nothingburger and suggest the effort to prevent problems was a total boondoggle.

Disclaimer: I was part of that effort. The funny thing was that I was brought back to a previous client to fix something that my previous efforts had literally caused. Took me 20 minutes to fix it once I saw what the problem was. And then there was a "while you're here, can you take a look at this ..." That lasted about two years until they closed the department and moved it to NY, NY.

At least I got credit in terms of billable hours.
