How much code do you work with, out of curiosity? At my work, we have about 500,000 lines of code, and while I'm usually working on a specific part of that, modifying and interfacing with other parts of the code is common. And, of course, for new people and people switching teams, all code is unfamiliar. IMO, expecting people to "just know the code" is really unreasonable; working with code you're not familiar with is very common in software engineering, and our tools and practices should take that into consideration.
