Another problem is that thousands of turorials get few to none updates. It’s not unusual to google for whatever.js quirk and find yourself in a tutorial that uses method that was deprecated 2-3 versions ago. Of course part of this problem is in whatever.js itself, that bumps versions like hell, but you end up with tons of crap that will be never relevant anymore, but still hit the top because its author still writes popular articles.

Idk about HN-ers, but I find myself in this situation at least few times a week since the beginning of my webdev.
