Okay here is the main entry routine into this POS.

Github Source Code Repository CovidSim.cpp Just look at the spagetthi nature of this.

Keep going through the code in the project it's one bad coding practice after another. Covid-19 Simulator

Nobody ever vetted this code. How do you know if improvements introduce runtime regressions? Oh thats right you don't because there aren't any tests and they use all sorts of custom algorithms rather than the stl that was available.

I spent my morning reading this - This looks like somebodies first attempt to write a program and they just keep adding. There is no real design, no comprehensive testing suite for the acceptance level functional requirements.

This is a shit piece of code those who relied on this are extremely culpable.

Computer science is not my area— not in the least.

Thankfully, there are enough people in this world who know how to code, at one level or another, who can intelligently critique Ferguson’s work and can write letters to the editor about it (citing their own credentials), post comments on the FaceBook or NextDoor pages, etc.
