Ask HN: What code samples should programmers read?
Here's an overlooked one: your dependencies.<p>Every programmer should read the (presumably open source) code they depend on, but almost nobody does it. Some look at documentation, but not everyone even does that. What you may find is that some of the code you depend on is garbage, and may even motivate improvements.<p>This may be less feasible for giant messes such as most front-end tooling and frameworks that exist today.
