This is tricky, because it's a class of problem that you need to understand exists in order to seek out the relevant information. Once you know what to look for, it's easy to find guidance - even from Oracle themselves [0]
A lot of us have "learned the hard way," as it sounds like Linus himself eventually did. I think this highlights an issue with the "learn through youtube video" approach. An internet celebrity may acquire enough knowledge to do accessible demonstrations, presenting totally valid, useful, and correct information in them, and still miss crucial "unknown unknowns" that they simply hadn't encountered in their own research.
It's hard to know what to recommend for a class of issue you aren't even aware of!
