Code Reading Club
Like a book club, but for code.
Sharpen your code-reading skills with us. We read an unfamiliar piece of code together, guided by a series of prompts and discussion. No matter your level or language, fresh eyes are welcome.
As AI generates more and more of our code, the ability to read code well matters more than ever, yet it's a skill we rarely practice on purpose. This is that practice, in good company.
It's fully language-agnostic. Whether you know the language or it's brand new to you, your perspective matters, and fresh eyes often spot what experts miss. It's just as much for people new to development as for seasoned engineers. If you know what a variable is, this is for you.
