I am pretty new to coding (still learning the basics) and I took a look at the code and recognized some stuff that I have done before... There is just so much in there I don't know where to begin to look or what it is am I looking at! I think I just need to spend some more time and googling stuff

Nice! Keep going Akshay! It might seem daunting at first but keep going. You could try breaking it up into small portions as well. For example, curious as to what sort of other packages that dev.to relies on, poke through the project's Gemfile. Or think about features you think are neat and you want to know more about and see if you can figure out where in the app it is implemented.
