Don't. Just don't.

Go on a walk. Feed your dog. Maybe read a fucking book. Do literally anything else.

The question is, who decides what shitty guide is. You? Let people write what they want, you don't have to use or read it. Also why not tell those you write shitty guides and tell them what is shitty, so they can improve. Instead trash talk on an unrelated forum??

    If you don't have necessary experience and are pretending to be an expert sharing your 'knowledge' on the web... You should stop.

    That does not answer my question. Who is judging what is bad and shitty guides, and who has the necessary experience? I disagree with you. Let people write articles that YOU think are shitty. Beginners or professional grade knowledge, I am for the open web where noobs share their knowledge as well. Assuming they are written by a human, not talking about Ai.

    Do you have any article as an example what you consider shitty and you do not allow to be posted on the free web?

    I've seen way too many tutorials that are trying to teach JavaScript, and mixing up JavaScript with Java... Saying that Java is just another, shorter, name for JavaScript.

    I'm also a big fan of the open web. It's good that people can post without needing a big publisher or newspaper to back them. But there are definite drawbacks as well. It can be very hard for someone who is trying to learn basic concepts, to know who actually knows what they're talking about, since anyone can post anything.

    Well if you don't know what constitutes good code and what constitutes bad code practices and don't see how much crap is on the web, not even compilable sometimes, then you probably are among the very people who should refrain from teaching others and/or cease sharing your 'valuable knowledge'

    In fact, I insist you to do so

    If you know what constitutes good code you probably won't be browsing for tutorials. Tutorials, even the bad ones, are useful for beginners. If you aren't a beginner, don't look for them and you won't be so pissed by it.

    You talk like you are a professional, but professionals know where to look and where to not look for reliable information.

    Don't make this a personal attack. Do you have any article you consider to be shitty? As an example, so we are on the same page. Do you ever wrote them a message or did an issue, so they are aware of the issue and can correct the mistake? Do you think they read this post of you and stop posting, because you do not agree with what they consider to be useful?

    Sorry but, you are not the person who decides who can post and who cannot. I have seen shitty articles that others find useful, and I saw good articles that others find shitty. Do you get what I mean?

    As I said previously. Do not attempt to teach or guide in any field you have no idea about. Sorry you feel attacked by my post but I have slightly better things to be doing than placating harmed egos on the web.

    So you don't even have a single example. Well I consider your post as useless and spam. Please stop posting useless and spam like this. Edit: Also you still don't answer a single question. Who is the judge? Who do I ask if my posts are okay to post? You?

    I see I struck some nerve here, calm down and just evaluate yourself if what you post has any value. Do you feel confident about your skills?

    You keep ignoring my questions. You think these answers and your post is valuable?? It contributes to spam and has no value.

    When we teach other people something we take on a responsibility. I know responsibility is not a popular word these days but it's true. We are responsible to make sure our material is of solid quality. I personally feel nowhere close to the great honor of providing knowledge despite many years of study.

    Sure I could perhaps share some selected things but I feel that is too great burden to act as an authority. Of course life isn't perfect and sometimes we must rely on less than ideal material hastily to meet the demands placed upon us or even unfortunately we find ourselves in the position of a teacher prematurely. We should strive to reduce amount of bad habits and spaghetti code made by beginners who take in dubious courses.

    If we want to live in a world of readable and maintainable code we shouldn't produce antithesis of such as 'guides'
