I don't like the Y2K as an example to this, hubris and overconfidence over solving Y2K might lead us (our leaders, specifically) to dropping the ball on the 2037 problem. And we could have the largest "food rotting in ports" famine of the century. It won't just be the 2037 problem, it'll the last few decades of cutting corners that will build up to this.

Anyways, that's wild speculation on my part, maybe all software will be rewritten with 64bit timestamps by an AI by 2036.
