I said SO but I should have said SE in my case - it just doesn't work for research fields because these especially are all about exploring unknowns, yet SE doesn't allow this... Maybe software engineering is all solved and there&#

And the point of this repository created by users for free is to sell it to a 3rd party I suppose? Why would anyone other than undergraduate students spend their time on such a site
