I'm very sceptical whether the site will appeal to foodies.
SO is a great place, and a completely amazing resource - but people who code are generally quite unique in their ability to rise through the ranks of pedantry. The ability to see things logically, and keep things on topic is essential for software development .. but I don't think it's wise to translate these requirements to a food site.
I think debates over 'is this a question' and 'shouldn't this be closed' and 'move it to community wiki' are all ridiculous. I believe cookery is very much an art - not a science. There's aren't correct single answers for a lot of things - because different things work for different people.
I honestly think putting a bunch of coders in charge is a huge mistake.
- ujeezy 16y agoAgreed. If SO can be satisfied with targeting the niche of "coders in any given category" rather than the entire "foodies" category, then they're on the right track.
- thentic 16y agoWould love to ask you a few questions about that in private but there's no contact info on your profile. Mind a few questions? If not, please email me: david@thentic.com
