Spot on about reading a random blog or article. I think many engineers at work are under pressure to deliver, and are looking for quick solutions. They do a search and see a Medium post related to their problem written by someone who says they are an “<platform> developer at <company>”, and for some reason most readers see these authors as an authority in their domain (because why else would they be writing about it? /s), and just accept the blog post’s practices or conclusions. Once read an article a long time ago about Android’s async task , and some blog post claimed it should only be used for operations less than one second. I looked at the official documentation and while it did mention that it should be used for short operations, no where did it mention it should be less than one second specifically (unless I missed it). I saw the same advice mentioned by many other devs who referenced that same article.
