Search engines have been dropping in quality significantly within the past decade, and especially within this past year. The noise to signal ratio has been frankly painful.

Can you please share some resources you use when trying to find answers to technical questions?

For example, STEM, academia, engineering, programming, etc.

    When doing technical things, I find the best source to always be the provided documentation. For example, when using an external crate in Rust, docs.rs or when coding a Django Webapp the official Django documentation.

    When starting out, these often contain examples or guides/tutorials.

    When that does not help, it goes back to putting relevant keywords into the search engine and hoping for the best.
