"Go read the code" is the dreaded refrain, because chances are that the docs are out of date or are some LLM's slop dissertation, and because everyone knows that understanding has to be built personally. And usually the best you can get is an experienced coworker to patiently answer questions. But AI has changed this, right? While it's the closest thing we have to an infinitely
