MIT, you know I love you guys. I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and your work, and you haven't yet eroded the good will you got for helping to revolutionize computing on multiple occaisions, and also for establishing Switzerland, and thus being responsible to some degree for Hacker culture, and a whole other wide variety of important work, and the Lisp languages (including Scheme) as we know them to today.

However, if you talk about how you've made significant advances to the state of the art in a field, and talk about a really cool project you made with this advance, and you do not tell us how you did it and link the git repo, than I don't care. Software is a collaborative effort. If you don't tell us how you got a result, or only give general overviews, then we have to re-discover it, re-implement it, and/or re-solve all the problems you solved. if you've made advances and do not disclose them in detail, than you are holding us back. and if your implementation is encumbered, write one that isn't, and give us it.

Either way, if anyone claims to have made amazing advances in a certain field, the first question you should be asking is, "where's your code."
