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

May I suggest avoiding recursive functions where possible? They are usually the ones overflowing your stack, duh.
