In addition to what everyone has already said about asking before coding and learning the codebase before writing from scratch, you could step up and document these things as you learn them. Not only might it help in the learning process, it will make it easier on the next guy who gets hired.

This is what I was thinking. When I started on my first project, there was already some documentation of the core classes in our codebase, what they do, how they interact, etc, and it was incredibly useful to me as a new college grad. It gave me a direction to look in and provided structure to the questions that I still inevitably had to take to the more senior developers.
