Code review can be very challenging, but that's very fruitful in the
long-term as you gain experience reading other's code. You will most
likely begin to dig into parts of the code you are not familiar of,
still there are a couple of areas which are more simple than others if
you want to get used to the Postgres code, like changes involving
in-core extensions or client binaries. If you begin working on a
feature, I would recommend beginning with something small-ish. And
even such things can sometimes get more complicated depending on the
reviews you get regarding issues you did not even imagine :)
