Asking software architecture related questions on Software Development community
### Context Over the years I had a hard time addressing questions about software architecture like [these ](https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/414361/where-should-i-place-more-complex-business-logic-related-to-what-a-web-api-does)[ones ](https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/413105/where-to-place-the-business-logic-for-an-external-application-that-is-tightly-co). 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 ](https://softwareengineering.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6758/what-is-the-problem-with-pros-and-cons)that the community is against all sort of "pros and cons" related questions. However, one experienced user [pointed out](https://softwareengineering.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/8884/can-we-improve-our-style-of-self-moderation-for-not-too-bad-questions) 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?
