Summarise and clarify the techniques people use to get into new code (as a blog post or examples)

My only suggestion is: could we find a way to summarise the neurodiversity we find on these? Digest and clarify the techniques people use and come up with a list of ways to get into new code?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I am curious, it sounds like an interesting idea.

Is it that you'd like us to look at the things people say about their techniques for the initial look at a new piece of code? And then using that 'data' try to categorise the different approaches? And then share those findings with the programming community so that peers can better understand each other's point of view and difficulties etc?

Please expand, or give an example of what you mean..

That is pretty much a good summary of my suggestion. :) For example, reading books that teaches other ways of thinking is helpful (to me, at least), building empathy and also providing us with different tools to reason about the world. So why not the same for code?
