Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
I've found the Chef project (https://github.com/chef/chef) to be high quality and easily readable but I've been working with Chef for like 8 years at this point which might be influencing how I view it.
Hashicorp projects also seem very well done too especially given how extensible they are.
