Remember Y2K? 25 years ago today (December 31st, 1999), the world held its breath as the clock struck midnight on January 1st, 2000. Teams everywhere, from customer services, to IT and finance, were on high alert, ready to tackle the deadly millennium bug.

I was leading the Internet Services team of an eCommerce company at the time, and we were no exception. The tension was apparent as we meticulously checked databases, applications, and all critical business processes. And then โ€ฆ nothing happened. Business as usual. ๐Ÿ˜…

Whether the bug was real or not, our two years of preparation paid off. It was a testament to the power of teamwork, detailed planning, and a healthy dose of paranoia!

A new technological dawn is upon us. AI is rapidly evolving, with Agentic AI poised to become a significant force in 2025. And the quantum computing revolution, with its potential to disrupt everything, is approaching closer than ever (aka Q-Day).

Are we ready for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead? Let’s embrace the future with the same diligence and collaborative spirit that helped us conquer the millennium bug!
