Comment on Reading Other People's Code (2012)

It would be nice if there was some standard way to structure code so that it could be read through in order and mostly make sense. Maybe even a `how-to-read-this-code.readme' file which laid out an appropriate order to read things in, and making sure that the code is in an appropriate order.

Ah, I've been trying to do just this.
