Kubernetes is a behemoth, but the Docker (Moby) source code is actually pretty easy to get into (if you're already a Docker user and understand how containers work)

If you think Docker code is easy to get into then you haven’t seen clean code.
The point is in Go it's pretty hard to write code so ugly that it'll be hard to read. I'm actually quite confident I could quickly onboard on almost any Go codebase (Kubernetes might be an exception). When I used to work with Java, I very rarely even tried to read the source code of my dependencies because it was unreadable.
