Comment on Ask HN: How to be senior software engineer?parent

Comments

I am familiar with the tooling but what I lack is in the ability to quickly navigate a code base. Given a period of 2-3 weeks, I can disect a project into the relevant parts, but I feel like it is still slow.

Now the issue I have is contributing to these projects. I am fairly capable of starting on my own, however, if it comes to updating the existing base, that is where I fall short. Any tips on that? I tried open source and basically ended up with same result. Same thing happens when I try to answer to questions on stack overflow. I do not get the confidence to do so.
