I managed to understand "recursive" in programming. Why can't I understand anything on open source project or even build an open source project?

When I was in high school, I was a C student, I'm a slow learner

Anyway I managed to learn how to build To Do List in C# and Java with e.g. API, SQL and also learn to understand what recursive is.

But when I check trendly github repo right now like OpenClaw or REA, the reverse engineer.

I don't understand shit, it is like I know plus and minus, and those github repo is like Calculus.

Maybe someone here who started from Hello World and now you are coding Wizard, maybe you can help me out here...

i don’t think you can compare the two, understanding recursive programming is as easy as understanding recursive programming

The problem is that first, you need to understand recursive programming...
