I could have written your message word for word. I recently had a very similar experience moving to AWS Lambda using AWS CDK and SAM. It is pretty shocking how unhelpful the AWS documentation can be at times.
Each use case is so unique, that it is likely difficult for them to account for every single situation where Lambdas are being used. Instead they opt for a generalized and non-specific documentation site, which results in docs I find practically useless.
I frequently find solutions to problems for AWS on someone's obscure blog, who after many days of suffering stumbled onto the answer, rather than finding anything of use directly from those who wrote the software.
Does a site exist where programmers can submit useful findings? Similar to stackoverflow, but rather than asking for questions, you just submit answers. I would think being able to search across such a crowdsourced utility would save programmers a ton of time.

SO kind of lets you do this. You can write a question and immediately answer it yourself - there's an option in the question UI for it.
