CATTING
THE CODE

Every developer eventually opens a project that feels impossible to understand.

Thousands of files. Unknown functions. Zero documentation.

Most people try to understand everything before writing a single line of code.

I don't.

I cat it.

When a cat explores unfamiliar territory, it doesn't sprint through the entire neighborhood. It slowly expands its radius, learning what is safe, what is useful, and where everything connects.

That's how I learn software.

Start with one file. One function. One bug. One feature.

Make something work. Learn why it works. Expand the radius.

Eventually the unfamiliar becomes familiar. The codebase becomes your territory.

Don't fear the unknown. Cat the code.
