I wish I had worked on other people's codebases earlier. Its a bit daunting when starting out but the art of understanding a codebase is invaluable and you'll learn how others use a language in interesting different ways

How would you describe practicing 'art' of learning a codebase? Surely there's a more efficient way than to just stare it down for weeks on end.
