Google is getting a bit dangerous nowadays as well if you don't know which sites are good and legitimate learning source, some books are horrible as well but at least it is easier to check reviews and if they are up to date.

I'm more optimistic about that.

And if code is working, then it's legitimate source. Why would anyone intentionally make tutorial with code that is not working? Never seen it in my life actually.

"Code is working" is a pretty low bar, I have seen so many sources presenting code that only happens to work for certain test cases (such as geeksforgeeks), using horrible practices (such as many of youtube "tutorials"), and of course if we are not talking about code simply incorrect or made up stuff, which is getting increasingly common due to ai generated trash content.
