In general, no. Corporate code "in the wild" is typically a pile of shit. I've worked at several companies and between mismanaged projects, team conflicts, time/requirements constraints stuff just gets messy, hacked and crazy really fast. Open source projects, particularly smaller 1-3 person projects on github typically have more consensus, dedication, vision, etc and come out better. I think there's a lot to learn from that process and how business code could be managed better. I'll save that for my book. The general shittiness of code makes me wonder at times about stuff around me. Stuff like the machines in a hospital keeping people alive, traffic lights, etc. It's kind of scary when you see examples of how badly some people think through problems.
