> but the original joke circa 1999 was this.

No, the original joke, which GP is referring to, is “There are only two hard things in computer science. Naming things and cache invalidation.”

It predates 1999 and the Y2K bug by a fair amount. I first saw it on Usenet in the early 90s, around 1994 I think.
