It's the age-old inclusionist vs deletionist battle. I think what they're trying to do is keep both sides happy by creating a vast network of sites with various purposes and then encouraging the deletionists to push questions to other sites rather than deleting them. Personally, I find it highly annoying but if it keeps interesting questions from getting closed then fine.
- petercooper 16y agoIn this case, there seems to be a subjective vs objective divide between the sites whereas the topics are the same (things like algorithms are mentioned explicitly in the good questions suggestions). Clearing that up in a way that satisifies even a minority will be tough and many will just end up scanning both sites (which is perhaps their goal, traffic wise).
