As someone who was working in the IT field during the whole Y2K thing, I can assure everyone that this was a real thing. The only reason it turned out to be a nothing burger is because we IT folks worked our butts off for several years prior to Y2K to make sure we fixed and tested all of our programs. My Y2K New Year's Eve was spent at work all that night making sure that if there were problems, we'd be there to fix them as they arose. There was no partying for us.
So, anyone that says this was all faked can kiss my sweet patootie.
