Rename "Coding Help"?
-
Here's a Meta topic that has nothing to do with Discourse.
I've posted a few times inside Coding Help subforum / category, and it occurs to me that it's much too narrow. It seems to be geared too much towards specific programming issues. There is that, but also the discussions about:
- Best practices in programming, unrelated to a specific problem.
- Other IT fields, like administration, hardware etc.
- Organization / management issues
So, my suggestion: Replace Coding Help section with a section that will contain all manners of serious IT discussion. Definitely people seeking help about stuff on their jobs, but maybe also some general profession-related topics as well. The kind of stuff that now goes into "General" section (in this scenario, "General" would remain for non-IT / misc topics).
Suggested names for renamed section:
- Talk shop, shop talk
- (IT) workshop
- IT help (for traditionalists)
- Non-WTF
- A joke on Stack Exchange / Experts Exchange (sex change something)
- ... insert your ideas here
So... does this make sense?

You have been drinking, haven't you?
You're saying I need help?
Oh, if only there was a place to seek it!

Fun stuff category! Since it is guaranteed that any topic in here derails, you're very likely to find help in there!

I would like that but unfortunately I am out of likes for 11 hours.
I also feel you meant 'DTFY' rather than 'FTFY'.

We could always just redirect all posts to Coding Help to stackoverflow.com and finish Dickwood's takeover of all
discussiondiscourse on the internet.

Should we prepend all posts with a trackback url like wildlife trackers?
