All of this is true. To me this article mostly reads like 'water is wet'. What one often sees, though, is that younger developers often have the idea that they need to read through portions of the code as a step of getting into it. I am not really sure that it is a helpful step for all but the smallest code bases. It is often more helpful to start with a user story and then try to find out what portions of the code apply to that.
- swyx 6y agoit is true but as we all know checklists can help to make sure stuff isn't missed, even for very experienced people, and it is an unmitigatedly good thing for newer developers. i gave a go at making a cheatsheet of the steps: https://twitter.com/Coding_Career/status/1350445944395821056?s=20 https://twitter.com/Coding_Career/status/1350445944395821056... think it's a good guide to follow even if I instinctively do most of it already.
