a lot of gnu software is excellent to read, although sometimes portability concerns can obfuscate it a bit. codebases written in functional languages are also good. in general, when there's a higher barrier to entry, higher quality work is more prevalent. consider spending some time teaching yourself how to find the best codebase that solves a particular problem. not only does that give you leverage for more learning down the line, it also helps you to develop the much more directly valuable skill of selecting good technology (and detecting crap before it's too late).
