This is the exact problem I ran into on rxjs. Every tutorial was badly out of date. Even ones written six months earlier.
You had to become a master of figuring out the direction of where community was going and stay on bleeding edge.
Some people found this fun. I have many times enjoyed this. When I want to get a boring feature built and hand off to the jr develops so I can spend some time with my kids. Itβs frustrating

The most annoying thing, to me, is that Kubernetes doesn't even move fast enough!
The old presentations? Ones that remember K8s 1.0? There's one major change (move from Replication Controller to Deployment+ReplicaSet) that doesn't invalidate ~90% of the material, because the core stuff is about how controllers work!
Yet it seems more and more common to me that people don't learn the core mechanism of kubernetes unless per chance they got there writing CRDs :|
Oooold presentations (think 2016 and older) tended to talk more about basic building blocks and how they interacted, especially the design involving resources and their controllers working in a loop of "check requested state, check real state, do changes to implement requested state", and how those loops went up from single pods, through ReplicationControllers (now ReplicaSets), then Deployments, etc.
