A comment on Ask HN: How do you differentiate good development advice from dogma?.
Pointing people to a good article is more than enough. If they're set in their ways, no amount of oratory skills will make them change.
> How do you evaluate which sources are worth trusting?
I don't; it would make me the same as people relying on social media influencers.
> How do you know when advice is valuable vs. dogma?
If the ROI ((quantifiable benefits - costs) / costs) for following it is high enough.
> Any tips for developing this critical lens earlier in your career?
Looking at the ROI for following the advice. Though beware - you'll end up becoming less employable because you won't chase the shiny new thing :)
