Also stack overflow
Or even better, libraries of functions you've built up over time from visiting stack overflow
A really good way to evaluate an ecosystem is looking if people look into documentation or stack overflow first.
When it's stack overflow, the ecosystem always suck.
Agreed, I 100% prefer to parse through documentation than stack overflow
I prefer good documentation over stack overflow, but I prefer stack overflow over bad documentation. If other programmers are mostly using stack overflow, it means the documentation sucks
May I suggest avoiding recursive functions where possible? They are usually the ones overflowing your stack, duh.
The trick to avoiding recursive functions is to avoid recursive functions.
