Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!

Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

Comment Post #278606 @Canina this is to support examples in published documentation about a SQL platform. I'll edit.

Comment Post #278591 And a key difference is that we're young and small, while SO isn't. People on SO resist investing time to help people because there's *so much*; it probably feels like bailing out the ocean with a thimble. *We* can get off on the right foot and grow organically, helping people along the way.

Comment Post #278559 @Alexei in terms of the broad task, it's what I said in the question. In terms of details like using the tools and guidelines for when to use them, we have help for that. Plus a team of people who are available for questions as needed. We're not going to strand you. :-) (Could you get in touch wi...

Comment Post #278470 I agree; that list from the proposal is a great starting point. (Upvoted it back then, still support it.)

Comment Post #278470 That's fair @r~~. This community came about a little differently from the others; there were lots of general requests for a software site but we didn't have a cohesive community. Now that we're here and have some participants and some questions getting answers, how should we proceed to best move fo...

Comment Post #278468 Tangent, but I don't have another way to contact you: Alexei, you're pretty active here, so I want to make sure you're aware of https://software.codidact.com/questions/278470. Interested?

Comment Post #278540 @elgonzo ah! Thanks. I did not find that in the actual documentation, and I didn't read the code. (Will edit the info from comments into this post in a bit.)

Comment Post #278470 I think the body of questions that's developing, including which ones get closed, will help inform scope.

Comment Post #278539 I asked this question a while ago on SO and it keeps generating activity, so apparently it's helping people. I'd like to help people (and make any improvements to it) here, so I brought it over.

Comment Post #278472 Right now close reasons are per-community, not per-community-per-category. We could adopt a convention like "[CR] reason" and "[Q&A] reason" for the ones that are unique to a category, until category-specific reasons are possible.

Comment Post #278468 A category can define tags that get special styling, like bug/discussion/feature-request/support here on meta. (It's one special style, not different styles for different groups of tags.) So Q&A could make code-review stand out like that, along with any other future tags that should be treated spec...

Comment Post #278393 @Lundin the team monitors all the metas for bug reports, so it's fine to ask here. (When problems aren't clear or there could be workarounds, the wider audience of main Meta can help, but here the problem seems pretty clear.)

Comment Post #278194 @Lundin that's a good point about self-answered Q&A modeling the Q&A we want.

Comment Post #278189 @meriton sorry, I probably should have used more qualifiers there. I've seen self-answered questions, both here and elsewhere, that got comments criticizing the question. When you already know the answer, it's easier to leave critical information out of the question. And I've seen complaints (main...

Comment Post #277360 A package system for separation with intentional versioning seems like a sound approach to me. But I'm the OP and probably less equipped to evaluate than others here. I see that someone has downvoted this answer and would like to understand why, if possible.

Comment Post #277306 It looks like the dev team has done some repo cleanup since we first looked at this; their repo is now down to about 70GB, and doc's WIndows machines aren't loaded up with as much corporate bloatware as they used to be. So we could actually share now; thanks for pointing it out.

Comment Post #277984 Also, what counts as a long line for display purposes is affected by display size and zoom. Code that looks just fine on a full-size monitor might be sad on a phone. You can never format your code so that it'll never have problems, so regardless of what the poster does, the site might still need to...

Comment Post #277962 [TopAnswers](https://topanswers.xyz/) has sites for Web Client Dev and Web Server Dev; I don't know if this fits one of those but you could try dropping into their main chat (attached to their meta site) and see what they say.

Comment Post #277906 Ok, I added that as a short description for now, while the community figures out what this tag should be. We can edit, rename, or remove later, as needed.

Comment Post #277891 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.

Comment Post #277551 Or the code blocks with lines too long for the space should get scrollbars so they stay in bounds without anything getting truncated. I don't know what's better here, scrolling or auto-wrap, but either would be better than letting them get so wide that they don't fit and over/underlap other content....

Comment Post #277885 Hello. Apparently we have a bug that affected the layout on this post (made things kind of unreadable). I'm trying to get that fixed, but in the meantime I made an edit that I *believe* is harmless but want to check. In the first code block, I moved each attribute to its own line instead of having...

Comment Post #277833 The title sounds like you want to disable a specific user, but the body sounds like you want to disable "everyone but me". Is the latter correct?

Comment Post #277263 We don't need to emulate the structure on SE. We should do what makes sense to the community *here*. Think of categories as different *kinds* of content, not just different *subjects*. For example, contests or challenges aren't regular Q&A; it makes sense to separate those. But design is part of soft...

Comment Post #277232 @hkotsubo I think there's an opportunity here for the software community to build an outstanding library of articles alongside Q&A. They'll be more visible than they would be as tag descriptions, and yes they could be linked from tag descriptions (or from answers, or from outside the network like wh...

Comment Post #277144 Something to keep in mind when tagging here: Codidact supports hierarchical tags, which is relevant for questions about specific versions of languages, libraries, etc. We can organize that better than with a flat tag list.
