No one is hiring though for reading code. I have read 10 million lines of code, roughly, I have written not one line.

Now I have produced a lot of programs, just by reading them.

People should also learn how to read programs. Most open source code is atrocious, corporate code is usually even worse, but not always.

As Donald Knuth once said, code is meant to be read. The time of literate programming is gonna come at some point, either in 100 years or in 3 years.
