Issue: The current code returns an error if it detects that the system clock has moved backward. While this is safe, it's not ideal for production systems that might experience minor, temporary clock adjustments.
Solution: I can modify the NextID function to handle backward clock drift more gracefully. Instead of returning an error, the generator will wait for a short period until the clock "catches up." This involves adding a small sleep or busy-wait loop that prevents a panic while preserving the generator's monotonic behavior. This is a more advanced task, but the solution is a well-known pattern in distributed systems.
