I just recently started my first junior development job last year, so I have just been diving into a lot of new code bases myself. I find the biggest thing that helps in new code bases is other developers. When I was stuck at different points in finding parts of code, or just looking to understand what they were thinking when they wrote a certain implementation of code.
A couple neat software things I have found helpful is FZF, and rgrep. I use Vim as my primary editor for code so being able to quickly search for files, or even pieces of code in a file is awesome! Not to mention its super fast!
Glad to hear someone else out there is running VIM! My colleagues think i'm crazy for using it. I just find it a lot faster than using my mouse in VSCode.

Sounds like I'm going to spend some time this week re-configuring my VIM - goodbye (for now) Silver Searcher π―
