If I start with these tools I get a feeling I understand how things fit together, but when I want to add something new I realize my understanding is pretty shallow. I force myself to manually open files where things are so I get an understanding of the conventions and principles in the project. By far my most valuable tool is grep (it’s super fast in vim) and I grep the code to see where certain functions and such are used. I use the lsp tools later when I’m used to the project.
