Comment on Reading Other People's Code

Comments

When reading code, I like to break projects down into chunks that I don't understand. Then I'll proceed to Google those bits, in an attempt to gain a broader understanding of what's going on (which in turn, increases my understanding of the language itself). Personally, I find this more fun than reading tutorials that never seem to get the point across. Personally, I love watching people code. Most just see the finished code, that is, the code the author committed. Few get to see the mistakes, typos, and general flow of the code in real-time. That's what I like to read/watch.
