People don't like when I say this, but I think it's true:

If it typically takes you hours to "get inside" some code, that code is way too complicated.

Some problems are inherently difficult to understand, let alone solve. I'm inclined to believe that engineers at Meta solve a lot of these types of problems.

You can solve difficult problems with simple, well factored code.

Just like your can solve simple problems with spaghetti code.

Of course, writing simple, will factored code is often hard!
