Here you go gramps:

(shortD) => {
    return parseInt(shortD.slice(0, 2), 10) > 50 ? "19" + shortD : "20"+shortD;
}

Did the software industry learn nothing from Y2K? Was it too long ago already for people to remember the mess we made for ourselves?

Saving two characters in a file name is not worth the hell you are leaving in your trail by shoving this nonsense in an obscure corner of production code that people are going to forget about until it's too late.

It's just a filename, calm down. The created by date is tracked by the file system and the repo.
