Just like you read the classics in literature, I think it would be interesting to read some of the classic codebases. They should fit the following criteria:
- The project was highly successful or influential
- Freely available source code
- Ideally the bulk of the project was written by one person
So far my list includes Linux, the John Carmack id releases (wolf3d, DOOM, Quake), SQLite, and vim. Any others I'm missing?
