Usually understanding the business rules first works better for me. Then understanding the models, and how they correlate when in a data-intensive application, looking into the DB and _then_ seeing its queries on the repositories/services. So I go to the bottom of pyramid and get to top (usually some requests on Postman) and it helps me to unveil everything I need to head start.

17.4.2025 21:28Comment on How to Understand a New Codebase Quickly by Tim Riley<p><a href="https://avdi.codes/author/avdi/" rel="ugc">@avdi</a> I've also had to jump into dozens of projects and had to figure out things quickly and had very different experience wrt to using the tests as a jumping off point. I usually use something like <a href="https://github.com/andymeneely/git-churn" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/andymeneely/git-churn</a> and try to find hotspots and look to tests to try and get a quick view of things. </p><p>"Start raising exceptions" is great for an engagement where the codebase is good enough to even get it to start on your computer in a few hours. :D And less useful if the team you're engaging has spent little to no time on dx for new people.</p><p>Anyway everyone is gonna have their own way of doing things and I do agree reading code is generally not useful until you know more about how the whole things fits together.</p><p>Thanks for sharing!</p>

17.4.2025 17:09How to Understand a New Codebase QuicklyAre there any viable alternatives to Hey Google / Siri / Alexa for coordinated home voice assistant? Having Google Home devices dotted around the house has been a big help to this solo dad – especially being able to say “Hey Google, set a 10 minute timer” and “Hey Google, add onions to the grocery […]

7.4.2025 19:53Good VibesThis is huge news – one of my favorite books on Ruby style, updated by two of my favorite Ruby writers. Reblog via Russ Olsen I’m thrilled to announce that @baweaver and I have just kicked off work on a second edition of Eloquent Ruby, to be published by our friends at @pragprog . The […]

20.3.2025 19:24How did you know to do that?I read this in a business book once: People don’t buy products, they buy a better version of themselves. I’m not sure what book I saw that in. It’s something Kathy Sierra talks about a lot. But somehow I find it very easy to forget. And while I encountered this quote in the context of […]

The fediverse is very decentralised with over 30k servers, but virtually all software is dependent on the Mastodon API, and every Mastodon competitor quickly realises that implementing the Mastodon API is mandatory in order to […]
