@liw@toot.liw.fi Lots of good advice in this thread. Other miscellaneous things I've used successfully:
* Fix something simple and debug it when it doesn't work. Repeat until things start to make sense.
* Often you need to know how something is used. Don't underestimate low-tech approaches. Set a breakpoint or print something loud and run tests until you hit it, or just deliberately break it and see what else breaks as a result.
* Use VCS history. `tig -Sthing` is a superpower.
