Understanding the Codebase Efficiently
It is crucial to understand the level at which one enters a codebase, as individuals at higher levels might not know how the entire system works. Seeking guidance from someone knowledgeable about the codebase is beneficial, but it's essential to validate the information provided as things may have changed. Attempting to read an entire codebase can be impractical, making it more efficient to focus on specific modules or services. Learning should be purpose-driven, with a clear goal or task guiding the research and understanding of the codebase.
