Honestly, it's really not that difficult if you give it a try. I grew up in a era where autocomplete was complete garbage and sometimes it would even cause issues (slowness, crashes) in the IDE.

Give it a few weeks (or even a few months, I don't know). You quickly learn the "rhythm" of codebases -- and then eventually you've seen it all to the finest details.

Then it's "ezmode." And it's not just for one codebase, you become better and better at realizing the way a code base is architected (code base being anything from an actual application, to an SDK, etc).
