For quick simple steps like how to get a Bluetooth keyboard into pairing mode, it seems to work really well. I hated the prior world where everyone attempted to hide the real answer 3/4ths of the way through a useless blog post or YouTube video.
Which, we should note, didn't happen 10 years ago before the accountants took over search at Google. Those good, lean, helpful pages still exist. Google incentives websites to have pages of slop on everything now because they track how long you spend on a site as a "metric of a good match". Forrest for the trees...
I shouldn’t have to read 2000 words to make a cheesecake. And I shouldn’t have to read it three times before starting to make sure I combine the ingredients in the right order.
Even the good ones are often subtly wrong. For example, never add baking powder or especially cinnamon to wet ingredients. Stir them into the dry ingredients first, then combine. Otherwise they clump. With cinnamon it makes it look bad. With chemically reactive ingredients it can lead to insufficient rise. Who taught you people to cook? Obviously not grandma or PBS.
I see a lot of people blame “stale” baking powder and while that is a thing, mixing it in wrong or subbing oil for butter or not chilling (eg cookie dough) is just as likely a culprit.
My friend made two sheets of cookies from the same batch and the second ones were terrible. She left the dough on the counter while the first batch was in the oven. Rookie mistake. And she has adult children.
Stack overflow launched 16 years ago, when for many years most of google results already were expertexchange type of sites with the obfuscated answers hidden pages deep in the link.
