Partially yes. But if I create something myself I can "revisit" the headspace of that portion very easily, like I walked into a room.

Doesn't work as well on codebases I don't own fully though.

Yeah, which is why pairing works so well. Suddenly, you've got two people who were there when it was created and might know why certain design decisions were made.
