Ask the AI how it works!

It's totally fair to load up some open source project into an agentic IDE and instead of asking it to write something ask questions like "how does X happen when I use feature Y?" or "can you explain how client code could accomplish Z"

All the time I see an AI use a language feature or library feature that I never used before or I see some code I don't understand and it does much better than a lot of humans do at explaining what it did.
