I can't quite remember what I was doing at midnight. But I remember people being excited about a new millennium, and then people saying "actually the new millennium doesn't start until 2001"

I also remember thinking the old computer programmers of decades past were idiots to have not accounted for the year 2000, when they built all their code. Wasn't the whole issue that the dates in code only kept track of the last 2 digits for a year? Like they just assumed nobody would use computers in the next century. Or they were just lazy and short sighted
