The question to me is, do you really learn anything just by reading it or is it just an exercise in self-aggrandizement and programmer posturing. You will be able to say: I've read that code and understood it. Some people claim that it's more important that you also look at the "bad" code and find ways to improve it that way you'll be truly learning the craft of programming and not just be on board with the latest engineering practices of a particular language and tool-sets.
