-Follow imports to understand how modules connect.
-Explore interface and types which are often used.
-Use UNKNOWN instead of any for safer type handling.
-Run tests locally to observe how modules interact.
-Use SOURCEGRAPH or CodeTour to visualize codebases.
-After understanding , teach the codebase to someone.
