I am afraid that the author has disqualified himself by publishing the source code before the judging of IOCCC 2020 is over. See catch 22 in the rules: "The judges STRONGLY prefer to not know who is submitting entries to the IOCCC."[1] Even the winners are asked not to publish the code until it is available on the IOCCC web site.[2] [1] https://ioccc.org/2020/rules.txt https://ioccc.org/2020/rules.txt [2] Personal communication

It is true that publishing the source code this early is risky, but submitting the code that has been already published is not prohibited by its own. My winning entry (2012/kang [1]) was in fact published independently and was even on HN [2]. I'm pretty sure that this is not the only occurrence, having seen some winning entries trending on Twitter before the public announcement.
