I stopped relying SO and started relying heavily on https://grep.app and Github search. Most of the time the code actually works and there's good references on how to structure things.

If you like grep, you'll probably really like Sourcegraph, which I believe has most of GitHub indexed and supports some useful operators: https://sourcegraph.com/search

It will also download repos for you if you point them at it.

I’m finding GitHub files and blog posts dedicated directly to my topic more and more, even relatively minor questions or function syntax.
