Wow, we're about to see the end of the 1,400M era. The 1,400M era saw me moving to the big city and getting pushed into project management.

Hoping the 1,500M era is nothing but good memories of getting my hands dirty again.

Good point. It saw me gain a teenager (second hand) by virtue of being in a relationship with somebody and I love it. Looking forward to 1.5, where we'll hopefully get our house bought together and make a proper life.

But be aware with your celebration. It can be slightly off due to leap seconds. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/327361/openbsd-6-0-...

  1 600 000 000 will be 9/13/2020, 7:26:40 AM

  2^32-1 (4 294 967 295) will be 2/7/2106, 12:28:15 AM

  100 million seconds is a little over 3 years
  1 billion seconds is almost 32 years.

At the beginning of 1.4 I was just a freshman. Now, at the beginning of 1.5, I'm just a different kind of freshman.

On a mac, you can keep track by opening the terminal and running the command "date +%s" (no quotes).

To see the countdown, you can use:

  while true; do echo $((1500000000 - `date +"%s"`)); sleep 1; done

On UNIX likes systems*. Pro-tip: `watch -n 1 date +%s` will give you a live view of the timestamp
