From my experience, reading code is a super important skill that just isn't taught in colleges. Just as reading and writing English (Or any other language) are separate but related skills, so too reading and writing code are separate but related skills. If you have a hard time reading other people's code, go practice. Learning to read code was one of the more enlightening experiences I've had as a programmer.
