Learn the Project
- •Read the documentation, code, configurations, Makefiles, tests, and other relevant files.
- •Do not assume documentation is complete or accurate — verify by examining the actual code.
- •Develop a solid understanding of the architecture, goals, and key components.
- •Take note of design patterns, dependencies, and conventions that shape the project.
