Y10K and Beyond (1999)

Cobol programmers in the year 9999 are going to be raking in the cash.

I was hoping they'd use something like DJB's netstrings.[1] That would seem to be a much simpler solution.

It is a pity they don't address the problem of leap seconds in more detail - they will stop working long before Y10K

I started reading this, scrolled back up and saw the date - Then it all made sense.
