The Y2K38 bug, also known as the Unix Millennium Bug, is a potential software problem that occurs when a 32-bit signed integer overflows, causing systems to incorrectly represent dates beyond January 19, 2038. As the year 2038 approaches, the tech community remains concerned about the potential impact on legacy systems, embedded devices, and software that rely on Unix timestamps, making it essential for developers to migrate to 64-bit systems and update their code to avoid potential disruptions and ensure continued functionality.
