I recently spent quite a bit of time diving into Rust and modern JS and very much understand why old tutorials are treated as none existent by many learners. Half the time I found a tutorial it was outdated. But because I was new to all of it,I didn't know and needed to bang my head against the wall longer than necessary. I'd rather go with a less well written, decorative tutorial than a excellent one that might be outdated and not work anymore. If someone were to go back and at a note at the top with a timestamp staying that it's still all correct the situation at least for me would be totally different. Not sure how well that reasoning translates to Indian learners of a more stable language and eco system like Ruby.
