What’s been released on GitHub is a heavily modified derivative of it, after having been upgraded for over a month by a team from Microsoft and others.

BTW you should also include another important quote from the article:

They know their code can’t withstand scrutiny, so they hid it until professionals had a chance to fix it, but the damage from over a decade of amateur hobby programming is so extensive that even Microsoft were unable to make it run right.

15,000 lines of spaghetti code in a single file. And the output varies between runs, with the exact same initial conditions. Without explanation.

We put the world under house arrest for this. And won’t admit it was an awful mistake. So most places are still under some form of house arrest.

Cloward-Piven worked. The economic depression is just getting started. Hang on.

I am in IT, and it doesn't surprise me. In fact I wrote an email to Chanel Rion of OAN if she would ask Fauchi to release the code. This is exactly what I would expect. Academics, even in computer fields, are crap coders. What is described is probably the norm of any simulation written in academia. Never ever be impressed by an academic who has writted code.

Software in academia is written by students, under the direction of professors, neither of which have experienced the discipline of working in a professional environment where there are costs and penalties for sloppiness and unprofessional behavior.

I took a glance at the Github repository (and this is the version of the code that Microsoft engineers spent a month cleaning up).

When you see comments like “ Bugs found - code is stable and seems deterministic again. Will finish more tests and send pull request”, it doesn’t reassure....
