Hackernews' Algolia search function is also a wealth of information. Basically any useful site (& comment) you can imagine is stored there, if you care to look. It's almost too good to be true, but you have to be in a serendipitous mindset to dive into certain topics, and also have something precious to us all: time. There's rabbit-holes on certain topics where I genuinely don't have the time to delve any further.
Like lately I wanted to learn about Go and was just floored at how much documentation and snippets of code I could use in my first project, so I just gave up. There are things I want to learn, but don't have the dedication & discipline to set aside 5 hours to make those initial first steps.
This is why I double down on topics I am currently proficient at, and when I find something that can go exponential the more time I spend on it, the better it is for me. Build on strength.
