I don't know how much you'd be able to get just from looking at a code base. Most codebases suck in some way, and it's easy to read code and judge - but what is more important is how it's dealt with. eg How good is the C

Yes! I feel this is the main point that is totally missed. The first time I read Tim Hartford years ago he was talking about this idea uncritically and I thought it was stupid then and I don't have much respect for him. The thing we ar
