Engineering/Development on the internet most certainly suffers from information overload. On Medium alone you'll find multiple articles on one topic with completely opposing thoughts.
I don't necessarily see this as a negative thing, however. It's bad in the sense that sometimes I can't find a quick answer when I just want to copy paste a solution. On the other hand, I found that it has forced me to read multiple different solutions/opinions (often including source code), which deepens my knowledge on the topic and puts me in a better position to make an educated decision.
Sure, it'd be nice to have the perfect answer just slapped in your face. But nothing beats the feeling of finally getting something to work, but also understanding why exactly it works in the first place.
