It's not quite the same as what you're saying, but there is a "programmers" Stack Exchange now, which has more of the opinion-based questions: http://programmer

  That site was started explicitly to take the questions rejected by StackOverflow. In an early incarnation, it was going to be called "Not Programming Related", from one of the popular close reasons on SO. However, over time, it has been affected by the same ossification as StackOverflow. Quoting the 'about' page [1]: Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers. Don't ask about... * general workplace issues, office politics, etc. * implementation issues or programming tools * Anything not directly related to software development * Questions that are primarily opinion-based * Questions with too many possible answers or that would require an extremely long answer Fair enough on the office politics, and implementation issues and tools presumably belong on StackOverflow, but it's the peripheral subjects, opinions, and (gasp!) complex and open-ended issues that the site was originally created to handle. They are now forbidden there. [1] http://programmers.stackexchange.com/about http://programmers.stackexchange.com/about
