I agree that this stuff is common place and I definitely understand that in today’s world of noise that you have to market yourself and your papers to get attention.

I was glad to see them add the disclaimer as hopefully it’ll turn away people who see “hey, here’s this secret management project made by a bunch of professors and PhDs, I should use it because they are super qualified”.

My goal was to provide feedback to the students about how people evaluate code “in the real world”. It’s not helpful for them to be applauded for “sub par” code but you raise a good point that it can seem harsh to not provide feedback on the “meat of the project” which is their paper and research.
