These days I don't quite like the search results(especially website that rhymes with Radium) ridden with basic to-do list tutorials or full of generic chatGPT text dump. All fluff, no insights.

Please share your tips/tricks/collection to optimize search results for good long-form technical articles.

Fwiw I follow company blogs(Eg: AWS well architected, Netflix, Stickfix, Shopify etc) and find that to be much better value for time spent.

The amount of information available on the internet has largely surpassed our ability to consume it effectively. Hence we see a general trend of data consolidation - collecting information from multiple resources and making it neatly 'consumable' in one place. Some examples that come to mind - Bookmark applications, - News aggregation websites, - Github's 'Awesome lists', - Super niche subreddits.

Which other areas do you think these consolidation services would be immensely helpful in? Also bonus if you can reason what current 'aggregation' systems lack, and what improvements would you like to see?

If you do not personally scrape, what publicly available information would be worth scraping and presenting in a consumable(user-friendly) format?

I have noticed that the ease of getting answers from StackOverflow is vastly hampering my ability to come up with solutions. People say "You don't need to memorize code. Just Google it".

I think this mentality is taking toll & I see myself going back to SO repeatedly. Even for the code I had copied previously. I'm sure many face this issue. Would like to know how you overcame this?
