I've recently started working with a decent size codebase in C. At first I spent quite a while looking through the code, but didn't really learn that much about it.

Eventually I bit the bullet and just dove right in, not afraid to break things. I had figured out more in 10 minutes than I did in a whole hour of passively looking through the code.
