TLDR; Even Knuth says it makes more sense to dissect and study code as a specimen than read it like literature
Great read! I had exactly the same misguided idea that to read code would be beneficial but never really get around to it in a structured way. And if I need to understand some code I have to dissect it and dig deep.
As an avid Neal Stephenson reader I also love the Royal Society throwback going on at twitter ;)
