	Description:		I worked through the Y2K crisis. I call it a crisis because so many of us were worried and millions, probably hundreds of millions of dollars were spent by companies trying to ensure their software systems would work when the date changed to 2000/01/01 00:00:00. I was on call that night, celebrating the new year at home, not drinking because I was slightly worried my paranoid boss would call me in. He didn't and there were few issues around the world in systems, perhaps because of the build up of the crisis and lots of prep work. I went through a similar set of concerns when the Sarbanes-Oxley act was passed in the US. Not much came of it, and companies spent a lot of time and money preparing. Over the last two years, it has been deja vu as the GDPR moved towards the enforcement date last May. Lots of companies, including my own employer (Redgate Software) were concerned and spent time and resources getting ready. The enforcement date came, with some early complaints being filed, but few fines. Perhaps the preparation paid off, but more likely it just takes time for audits to occur and complaints to be investigated. Read the rest of Google's Expensive Confusing Rules
