Quite a few professional programmers evaluate the quality of code by "look": presence of tests, variable length, function length etc. However, what makes great code is really the code structure and logical flows behind. In my experience, good industrial programmers are as rare as good academic programmers. Many industrial programmers make a fuss about coding styles but are not really good at organizing structured code for a medium sized project.
