- freiheit 16y agoProgrammers.SE is intended for questions programmers have that are only indirectly related to programming. It allows many things that would be considered off-topic on stackoverflow.com. See: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/3352 http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/3352 And: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/about http://programmers.stackexchange.com/about
- tzury 16y agoI am not sure this is not out of control already. In my opinion, there are too many sites under this umbrella and when I have a questions I am not sure where it shall be posted anymore.
- duck 16y agoI find the "stackoverflow" style app to work pretty well regarding getting and finding answers, but it seems like Jeff/Joel don't trust it to work when they break things out into all these other sites like this one. Do people really just browse these type sites? And even if they do, doesn't tagging solve most of that?
