Meaning of the tag software practices?

+4
−1

Some new tag "software practices" just popped up, no wiki.

What's the purpose of this tag and how is it useful? What exactly in software development is not "software practices"? Seems quite superfluous and very broad.

Is it supposed to mark questions that are subjective or asking for best practice somehow?

@pnuts I'm asking because this tag was apparently created by site admins and not some clueless beginner.

A user created a tag containing a space, which broke things, and an admin changed it to have the hyphen. I don't think admins were weighing in on the merits of the tag, just trying to mitigate a bug.

@Monica Cellio Okay. Then we should probably remove both tags, without or without space. It is too vague to fill a purpose.

@pnuts I have no idea how it works here really. On SE you had to go through all manner of painful rituals and post reviews. But since this site is brand new, we should be able to be more flexible.
