Asking software architecture related questions on Software Development community

+8
−0

Context

Over the years I had a hard time addressing questions about software architecture like these ones .

Soon after posting them, they receive a couple of downvotes and close votes which set the message that these are not welcomed in that community.

One comment indicated that the community is against all sort of "pros and cons" related questions.

However, one experienced user pointed out that there is a chronical issue with the community de facto rejecting "not so bad questions" (i.e. can be improved with a relative small effort).

Main issue

I would like to know if this type of questions is welcomed on Software Development Codidact. For me it was quite a frustration to not be able to address them and also feel welcomed and I never understood why. These are an important part of any senior developer's job: understanding the pros and cons of various software architectures.

Question: Are software architecture related questions welcomed on Software Development community?

This is one of the things I'm hoping there will be a place for on this site or another Codidact one. Program design is complex and every programmer needs it.
