My problem is the lack of real answers from professionals.

As someone in the tech industry, I get curious and look around. And the top rated answers (usually theres like 3 answers max) are often wrong.

There was a hilarious Quora answer that asked about web development, and the person who answered was a guy whose experience was "I've been on the internet" who gave a solution using technology from 2010.

It's hilariously bad and Quora don't care.
