When I was younger and took over a codebase I open it up in one window and then type it back into another window. Not only did I catch/fix a crazy number of bugs, but I became a near expert overnight. Doing the typing would cause me to question everything, ask why we import something, why x is used and not y, etc.

I also tried where I would print out the code (with color) and then go read it with a red pen. Faster and similar results of forcing me to be able to read it enough to be "an editor" to the code.

And I have done the same for LLM-generated code and text, back in '23 this meant more taking their so-so output and then turning it into my own, but between now and then come up with a number of techniques to improve the AI output to more acceptable out of the gate so more learning than being inspired.

These are good techniques as it causes your own brain to rapidly learn the material, but no matter how good it is I have never met anyone else that does it so the real ponderable is assuming that everyone else doesn't do this and what does that mean?
