It's honestly like 99% marketing and 1% skill. The other day I saw a Vlog from a YouTube developer advocating to avoid else statements completely because it leads to 'cleaner code.' It will 'force you to make all your intentions clear.' But it also means duplicating a negative expression for every boolean that is to have an else which is tedious, unnecessary, and just ridiculous. This is the kind of garbage being given out for advice.
Most of the stuff I see is really just fortune cookie style bs that sounds useful but isn't. Blogs are actually a horrible source to learn from because they lack a systematized comprehensive framework for knowledge. I still love books or trying things out myself.
