I've been experimenting with the Feynman technique on codebases. However the issue I run into is that, you need hard feedback to verify your hypotheses.

I was satisfied with my own explanation of how something worked but it turned out to be wrong.

LLMs help here (the transformer is good at seeing the big picture, at least on smallish codebases), but the best thing I found so far is just modding.

Actually making a change to the code is the best way to get hard feedback about your model.
