Stack overflow also has a ton of misleading answers too. Yes, the popular ones are exemplary ones with depth. The "struggle" is where the most knowledge is gained. While one struggle, they look inside, outside and around the problem and over time dots starts connect to each other.

I don't think it's all junior engineer's laziness to get things quick out the door. I recently worked with several, and many prefers to "do the right way". However, there are bad managers who wants to get things done quick so they can climb up the ladder. One junior told me his 1-on-1 with manager told him "don't think too much and get it done". The current market is tough for junior devs so they'll do whatever to please their manager. What choice do they have? Rather prefer getting PIP'ed?

And it's funny how the current market is considered "bad" because software companies earnings are clearly not that bad. Perhaps our greed has peaked and the only way to pocket more money is to squeeze every drop of juice out of employees to get the product out ASAP
