Episode #11 Missed Opportunities Y2K Legacy Systems

Covid-19 resulted in Lockdowns,

which resulted in Unemployment levels that exceeded all past expectations,

which resulted in Unemployment systems - usually in the legacy category - bursting at the seams

which resulted in call outs to COBOL programmers

Since Y2K involved many of these same systems, the question arises did we miss an opportunity? 

This episode takes a look at one area where Y2K remediation failed miserably.
