Original Matz's talk in Japanese
Translated:
Looking back on what kind of source code I've been reading in the past, there may be hints on how to read the code to improve programming skills. Firstly, "Do not try to read the whole". There is no "story" in the source code, so you do not need to read through the whole. It is enough if you pinch interesting places and learn the wisdom of the predecessors. The other is to "read with purpose". If you read the source code to learn something, you can effectively understand and acquire knowledge. en.icon
