I like the comparison to writing. In order to be a better writer, you must read works that are well written. The most common way that I read code are by traversing my source tree into the code I depend on (stdlib/third-party). When dependencies are compiled in some way, reading the code is not possible. It makes learning different code patterns impossible and causes a lot of "reinventing of the wheel"
