I wasn’t out of school back then, but I can imagine the board meeting went something like this: Boss :”It’s going to cost 10mm dollars to fix this Y2K bug? Can you verify our systems crash by running a simulation?” Engineer: “you mean manually chaining the computer time and seeing if our code still works? If so, we already did that and our code failed.” Boss:”Thanks! you’re approved.”
