Hey, so I am doing my first contribution to PyTorch and have decided to take up this issue [Generate special clear error messages for known common misuses in TorchScript](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/58122) as a way to better learn the codebase. Any recommendations to understanding the codebase to more efficiently work on this issue? It is within the nn.module within Torchscript.
