In my years as a software engineer, I have probably looked at hundreds of codebases. Too many to count. I struggled a lot with understanding where the relevant code is most of the time. Normally, asking for help what I should look for and guidance in tickets will bring me forward. Slowly and surely I will understand what the code is doing. And you will too. Some people are better at this and some people will be slow. No shame. Most code is complex. But I found a simple tool that will make it easier for you. It is called  code-complexity  and you can use it as the following code snippet shows:

npx code-complexity . --limit 20 --sort ratio
## You can also use --filter '**/*.js' to use glob patterns to filter files
