I'm reserving my judgment until after 2038. But yes, everything looks much better this century.

2038, or 2028? If 2028 doesn’t go right, getting to 2038 is going to be rough.

IIRC 2038 is when 32-bit integer Unix time will hit the limit and overflow, so anything that isn't updated to use 64bit time will break in some ways, same story as Y2K.
