There are two interesting parts to reading code.
- Working out what it actually does, and why
- Working out why somebody *wrote it in that way*
The former is usually not too bad. Occasionally there will be a comment to help with the latter (although rarely ime). The latter is basically impossible. I can ask 3 other devs, they'll all disagree. Some like the style, some hate it. Each will complain about different aspects, and none of them would write it quite the same for ~reasons~
Maybe it's just me vOv
