Yeah it's stunning to me that people can apparently run experiments with code, produce results with code, write a paper about that code, and then release poorly written prose in a garbled way without also releasing that code (or at the very least releasing a video demonstrating results).

...And get a PHD for it!
I was under the impression this is just how academia worked nowadays.
There are really just two situations if the solution generalizes well - and if it doesn’t it might be worth just mentioning that and to move on:

1. similar open data exists, great, just publish a sample implementation

2. if not the first task is to generate such an open data set
