Maybe an unpopular opinion, but it feels like there is a new trend in celebrating this type of articles that does nothing but repeat already-known concepts without references, adds nothing new, and basically just there to pollute search engine results in the hope of self-promotion. If MDN Web Docs are not enough, there are better sources like YDKJS.

This is why I can't stand browsing any of the "programming" or "JavaScript" sections on Medium anymore. We get it already. You learned how promises or fp work. Move on.

Agreed, the only surprising thing is that this isn't a Medium post and (from glancing at the comments but not the article) it isn't glaringly wrong.

The web is big, messy and free (as in free speech), there is not a corpus of carefully written articles trying to extend human knowledge or something. It’s search engine fault for letting SEO (which feels like Spam Engine Optimization) pouring and making it into the index of supposedly relevant information based on your query.
