This is honestly what gets me every. single. time.

I’ll get stuck and I have no idea where to reach out for help and I’ll start trying to research, fight with google filters, then decide to put it off and start researching other things (for the same project or a different one) and eventually give up.

This was my issue, and apart of the reason I've been experimenting with this: https://django.curaffe.com

I work a lot with Django and simply mapped out the ecosystem, and then put a search layer on top of it.

If I can get a little traction with this one then I would happily roll one out for each of the other language and framework ecosystems.

At least now there are a few slack groups and forums I can ping into when I get stuck.
