Sounds like you haven't read much good code. I have worked on a lot of "reasonably good" code I didn't mind reading. Reasons for code to be good or bad vary. The Linux memory management code (linux/mm), for example, is rather hard to read, but also a big technical accomplishment. So it's still interesting (and I read it just out of interest). Code that pushes around data is nice if it's well organized and named. Etc.
- jzoch 7y agoNo I've read good code. At work you don't have the liberty to sit and understand every line of a library you're using does or some other teams work. I did not say code should not be read, just that it shouldn't be expected to be read. Make it clear before you ever get to the code what's going on
