We got bit with a lot of hard coded functionality on our Lot #s because of our use of a 1 digit year. That was started in 2011 and nobody thought of an foul at 2020.
ASNs to customers, MFG date on CofAs all fell under my control. Happy happy joy joy.

One that no longer works here.
It was their attempt to hide the date of the mfg in labels we place on EVERYTHING. Actually they now work for the ERP company we use. He was a great cost accountant, not a good systems guy.

Nice, they even mention our local subway system in Hamburg which failed a couple of days ago due to a software update.
Hello.
It is always reassuring to think that software developers did not even think that their work would survive them ...
Happy new bug !

"Who's ever going to need more than 640k?"
"Just use 99 for the year. The system will be replaced long before then."
"OTHERWISE? We don't need an OTHERWISE in our CASE statements."
It's amazing computers haven't destroyed mankind. Yet.

I regularly quote that on Twitter, variously attributed to Clifford Stoll ("The Cookoo's Egg") and Gerald Weinberg.

Found some old C# code today that used 2020-01-01 instead of MaxDate. I don't know what dummass wrote that ;-)
