The date is given on the page, which hasn’t lapsed yet.

They’re probably spending intervening 10 months cleaning all the embarrassing comments out of the code before the initial commit.

it shows “Dec 16, 1” when I open the link, but the first time I saw someone post it, the date on the screenshot said “May 16, 2024 - 08:30 CEST”: https://social.treehouse.systems/@amie/112452636130622939
