I'm still thinking about the 2037 problem.

Not to be that guy, but it is the 2038 problem for 32 bit epoch. Check this out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

But yeah, that's a much bigger issue.

No, the 2037 problem is fixing the Y2k38 problem in 2037.

Before that there's no problem :)

This problem is now so old that hardware running it in 2038 will be obsolete
