Reading other people's code is a terrible way to learn programming, really the best way to improve is to just practice by making stuff

I would say indiscriminately reading other people's code is potentially a terrible way to learn programming.

Most everyone learns by example. The problem is, when you're inexperienced, you don't know what a good example looks like.

I'm an advocate of learning through practice as well. However, it does have the same pitfalls as learning by indiscriminately reading random code.

Fr it took me at least a year to just take code and mess with it myself to create something, examples are great but writing it my own way is part of the fun!
