Help! I just inherited 50,000 lines of Python code from someone who no longer works here. What do I do?
This talk will cover some practical strategies for dealing with large Python code bases.

If a boss has such expectations after a week with such code, then you need to change the boss. I've been in such situations and I've immediately pulled out. To me this is a hint that such person is a psychopath and I dont want to deal with him at all.

I agree in your situation but don‘t always assume there is an evil boss at play. This part is important 2:09 (timestamp) and nobody said you alone inherited this code. I have seen situations where a dev dropped out for unforeseen circumstances and it takes time to find capable new staff. Many situations lead to such „between period“ and than yes - if you (and peers) decide to step up, you might face the challenge to get quickly into someone else’s code. And that is hard. Happy new year!

That's what I went through recently - converting thousands of lines of absolutely horrible R code to Python. My predatory manager was in "sick leave" most of the time while being investigated for abuse against me and even just before leaving kept on with the passive aggression, because he could not continue with the over aggression. I had already submitted my notice, was around only because of the contract terms...
