> I became unable to understand what I was doing, and as I read through the code very little of it made any sense to me, sure the individual lines were readable, functions made some semblance of sense, but there was no logic

Yes, this happens, and it’s similar to when you first start working on a codebase you didn’t write

However, if instead of giving up, you keep going, eventually you do start understanding what the code does

You should also refactor the code regularly, and when you do, you get a better picture of where things are and how they interact with each other
