It's really that easy. Most people focus too much on reading articles when reading code from talented, experienced individuals helps you more than most articles.
To not read other people's code is to try to learn to write without ever reading other people's work.
I would love to see courses that do the equivalent of "book reports" where students pick large projects and read them end to end, producing qualitative comments and discourse on that code.
