As someone who just recently got into baking sourdough and was literally discussing earlier today some of the challenges around different starters, conditions, and lots of bad / misleading advice online, this is fun to see.
As a bit of an aside, I've found my starter is a lot more resilient than the internet would have me believe. I managed to bring it back to life from the brink after accidentally pouring boiling water directly on it. Fingers crossed no more near-death experiences for it again!
I also find King Arthur's guides and recipes super helpful; recently, I've started popping them into ChatGPT and requesting modifications (e.g. volume, ingredient alterations based on my learnings or needs, altitude adjustments etc.).
