The interweb is full of annoying "X is dead" or "Is Y still relevant?" crap. Reason enough to throw out yet another one finally answering the big questions of our days, curried with just the right buzzword tags.
- 2023 was the big deal in 2023 and it is still used on old Polaroids and fraudulent checks. But the hype is clearly over.
- Everybody is talking about 2024 these days. It made a magnificent entry on the TIOBE index of current years in 2024 and kicked 2023 from the pole position literally overnight.
- All big companies have moved on to 2024 including prominent websites like Airbnb, GibHub and Hulu.
- The community of people living in 2023 has practically vanished. There's a stubborn crowd of marauders still stuck in 2020, some in 1864 even, but the sharp folks have arrived in 2024 months ago.
- 2024 is all even, as a whole, digit by digit, horizontal checksum, you name it. This is a huge advantage over the obviously odd 2023.
- 2024 has one day more than 2023, that's a whopping 0.2747% more year for free.
- 2023 was released on January 1, 2023 whereas 2024 came out a full year later and therefore has to be considered out-of-date. Also, there are no more security patches for 2023 which is why all major safety agencies advice against using 2023.
- 2023 promised us a cage fight to witness Elon Musk's hairdo be bent into shape by this other billionaire weirdo. Yet 2023 failed to deliver miserably.
- In summary, the continued relevance of 2024 compared to 2023 can be attributed to ongoing trends, policy impacts, cultural dynamics, global events, and technological advancements that shape the current narrative and influence future trajectories. (Thus spoke ChatGPT, so it must be true.)
- Frack, one point short. I'm sure it would have been two points in 2023.
