A new codebase is like getting a huge mechanical horse dick dildo.
The first day you get it, you want to jump right in and jam it all inside you. But don't know what you're doing and you end up tearing yourself open and bruising your internal organs. You spend some time in hospital and have to tell everyone you were having your appendix removed.
Then you get home and see it sitting there. You want nothing to do with it. You've learned your lesson. You even consider whether buying the horse dick dildo was a mistake. Maybe you should have stuck with the smaller dildos.
But after a while the feelings of wanting something massive in your ass grow enough to make the risk of putting yourself in the hospital again seem smaller. Smaller - but not gone. This time you treat it with the respect it deserves.
So this time you're more careful. You consume it a bit at a time, you explore it properly and learn how it works before trying to use it. Every hour spent with a subsection of it gives you a greater knowledge of the whole thing.
After a few weeks of this you can see plainly what you did wrong in your original attempt and you feel like you're ready for another run at it.
