How unpopular opinions worth the hype?

There is a lot of conflicting advice online and most of it is from 2019. Maybe an unpopular opinion but here we go.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, mods please remove if it is not.

Been thinking about this for a while and curious what the community thinks. This came up at a meetup recently and the room was split, so curious what the broader community thinks. Long-time lurker, first-time poster.
