Makes sense. For me, the tools are what trip me up more since they might not be fully documented (and why would they, they have a Discord to answer people's questions /s) so it's incredibly annoying to find a tool that you know should work but don't know exactly how to make it work the way you want.

For more conceptual stuff, I don't usually need to ask questions, I just work it out myself generally. However, there are some great general Discords for that too. Recently I was looking into CRDTs and I joined a Discord that had a lot of researchers for precisely that topic and I could ask them questions on theory and implementation.
