I know many people consume enormous amount of content - conference speeches and tutorials on YouTube, (Medium) blogs, then simply follow the lowest effort path which works for them. If you are looking for interaction with humans - Stack Overfow, Reddit, Hacker News. The probability of anyone responding is rather low unfortunately. Personally I crawl through the web - public repositories on github and gitlab, websites from the SO family, websites of universities, etc. I search through my local library of books. Obtaining an advice from a skillful human is very difficult.
