How to approach a new codebase, vol 2.0:


  1. -Identify the important files in the codebase
  2. -Go through the codebase file by file
  3. Write comments on every line of code and what it does/what you think it does
  4. Understand the code function by function
  5. Try to understand every file's main functionality

I know that I've already covered this before, but it's so important. Repetition is key. Thanks!!!
