Software Development Codidact is currently set to "New Site Mode". When we first launch a community, we've been launching with adjusted settings that make it easier to earn certain Abilities.

Once the community reaches a point where gaining Abilities based on the standard values doesn't seem impossible, which involves a certain level of active users posting, voting, and moderating, we (the Community Team) will decide to turn off New Site Mode. For the moment, though, Software Development is still small enough that it's beneficial to have users earn Abilities more quickly.
