For those new to the joke: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/know-where-man/

The same goes for knowing when to pay attention to Stack Overflow or GitHub and when not to. ;-)

In fact, it would probably be funnier if it were $1 to implement a new feature with an npm package and $1999 for knowing which npm package to use.

That said, usually when I search HN and stick to recent posts/comments within the last year, the advice often proves useful to some degree, as when experts share their direct experiences. For less technical concerns the same can be true of Reddit.
