Tips and tricks for reading unfamiliar code

Amazing video!

thank you

my algorithm for exploring code is trying to follow the "signal flow"(not sure what else to call it, this what we called it in audio engineering) for some piece of functionality im interested in understanding. Ill just make little flowbox charts on excalidraw/draw-io and it really helps me visually parse how files/routines are linked together.

Your content is so good in the sea of garbo on this platform

fundamentally deep advice, thanks for this.
But is there any way to generate visual abstractions or physical intuitions about the specific snippets of code, like envisioning the entire internal process visually such that the code is just a syntactical expression capturing those elements of thought? I am speaking more like how people like Richard feynman used to translate maths or equations in specific intuitively.

Thank you so much for this!

Sage advice.

Never seen this channel before. I’m glad I found it, looks great.

idk why yt recommends me.low quality content

This is actually a useful video, most juniors(including me) struggle getting familiar in a new codebase and being productive in it

/ is your friend.

you are the best . i might write a blog post on this , more people can benefit from this kind of mental model

AYYY let's goo! I can't wait to watch this! Thanks for making it
