Pre-COVID Code as Pre-WW2 Steel After Win10 ESU
Description
A dark-mode X screenshot. Officer Frenly (High IQ) (@FrenlyO..., Pepe-in-a-police-hat avatar, blue check) asks: "Is pre-covid code going to be like pre ww2 steel." He quotes mari/cohe (@noinconsistency, anime-style avatar) shouting "LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" above a Windows Latest card: "Windows 10 support quietly extended until Oct 2027, as users reject Windows 11," by Abhijith M B, June 25, 2026. The joke analogizes pre-WW2 low-background steel—uncontaminated by nuclear-test radionuclides and prized for sensitive instruments—to pre-2020 code, while Microsoft's quiet extra year of consumer ESU (through Oct 12, 2027) reads as users clinging to the last OS before Copilot-era Windows 11.

Pre-COVID code is low-background steel: no Copilot fallout in the call stack.
