The hard thing about debugging other people’s code is understanding what they’re trying to do. Once you’ve figured that out it’s just like debugging your own code. But not all developers stick to good patterns, good conventions or good documentation, and that’s when you can spend a long time figuring out their intention. Until you’ve got that, you don’t know what’s a bug.

That feels like the trap here. There is no intention, just patterns.
