10 Weird HTML Hacks That Shaped the Internet

An expert wouldn't go to W3schools to begin with. They would have far more specific problems that would be better explored on Stack Overflow.

A beginner on the other hand would have their SO questions locked/closed within minutes because it would likely break any one of the thousand little rules SO has (to reduce duplicates) that are unknown to beginners.

Horses for courses; I read the official MDN and PHP docs now, but I didn't when I began because those sites assume an enormous amount of prior knowledge about programming.

This exactly. I still look to w3school over mdn if I can. The information is just friendlier. I'll use "proper" documentation if needed and never post anything to SO for the reasons you state.
