How to Read Other People's Code -- And Why

I don't mind using code folding when I'm doing this. Trying to fold the code down that I don't care about, this way there isn't as much to read and get lost in.

If you're not folding functions, but parts of functions, that's a sign that it's poorly divided up, and a refactor would benefit it.

Indeed, but you should understand it before even trying to rewrite it, then folding can help a lot on poorly divided code. `
