While this code is pretty bad, I'm going to guess that the NSA reserves their best IT folks for... you know... the assignments other than their public facing website.
- pba 10y agoAgreed, this code was probably written by a contractor rather than one of their mathematicians I'd imagine
- delinka 10y agoHave you seen mathematicians write code? For a website? We hired a few (we're in the crypto business) and we don't let them near production code. Ever.
- sremani 10y agoGeneral observation, mathematicians excel at functional v. imperative, partially because so many functional concepts are grounded in mathematics/logic.
