Everyone says to sift flour, but nobody mentions the one step that actually stopped my cakes from sinking

My cakes kept falling in the middle for 2 years and I blamed the oven, the pan, everything. Turns out I was overmixing right after adding the flour, and a baker at the shop on 5th Street told me to fold it 8 times max. Now they finally come out flat on top, is this a thing anyone else had to learn the hard way?
