I agree, many people are starting to code due to FOMO and not learning fundamentals.

Is there any way to filter the good content and tools?

and what about other subjects?

For some languages (Python and Java) there is official documentation that might not always be easy to read but is always correct.

Don't search for things on Google or Stackoverflow if you're using a language with a good manual. Learn how to find things in the manual. Read the manual on your tablet when you spin at the gym. Learn it like the back of your hand.

If you use sites from the spamweb to look up answers you can almost never save time because your time will be wasted by spam, spamvertising, wrong answers, bad explanations, etc.

Unfortunately Javascript doesn't have a real "official manual" but

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web

comes close.
