More on the Year 2038 problem here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_20...

Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia Any system using data structures with signed 32-bit time representations has an inherent risk of failing. A full list of these data structures is virtually impossible to derive, but there are well-known data structures that have the Unix time problem:

#TIL about the Year 2038 problem, basically Y2K's lesser-known cousin 🤦‍♂️👾

On 19 Jan 2038 some computers will think it's 1901 again (because they store time as a 32-bit integer) 🕰️🙃
Plenty of time to fix... right? 🛠️🐛

Thanks Matthias van de Meent for the gem on #PostgreSQL 🙌🐘
