Since we're talking about Carmack in this thread.... Fabien Sanglard does some excellent reviews of code from ID... see for example: http://fabiensanglard.net/doom3/ http://fabiensanglard.net/doom3/ There's actually a movement that studies code in the way you'd examine a literary work (Critical Code Studies). Sure it's very abstract, but it can be fun, see for example this book: http://10print.org/ http://10print.org/ You could also look at livecoding - they treat coding as a performance art.
