What is the main difference between this Stack Exchange and the main Stack Overflow which is self described as a "collaboratively edited question and answer site for programmers"?
- mindcrime 16y agoThe way I saw it put was that SO was more about low level technical programming details, and the new Programmers SE site was for subjective discussions about programming in general. Somebody said something like "SO is for when you're in front of the keyboard, and Programmers SE is for when you're in front of the whiteboard." Something like that...
- chrisaycock 16y agoRight, SO is for code while programmers.SE is for everything else. Another way to look at it is the tags. Stack Overflow -- all about programming: http://stackoverflow.com/tags http://stackoverflow.com/tags Programmers Stack Exchange -- career development and project management: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/tags http://programmers.stackexchange.com/tags
- p_nathan 16y agoProgrammers.SE is the soft questions relating to programming life and career, basically. It's much more relaxed about discussiony questions than SO. I participate there regularly.
