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.

Some relevant history for consideration (not an answer about specific scope boundaries): When we started to discuss a programming or software community, we were concerned about premature fragmenta...
In addition to Q&A, Codidact supports another post type, article. Articles can be used for blog posts, wiki pages, and other resources. Articles, like questions, use tags, so searching for a ...
Code blocks that are wider than the column they're trying to fit in now get horizontal scrollbars. As noted in another answer, it's not safe to assume that line-wrapping won't change the correctne...
There are RSS feeds for tags already, linked at the bottom of the tag page. (Yeah, I missed it too; I'll see if we can make that more obvious.) For example, here's the RSS feed for the feature-re...
I apologize for the long delay in getting such a small change made and deployed. Someday I would like the blocks to be resizable, but in the meantime, a code block now shows 40 lines before the sc...
Are we talking about questions asking for book recommendations, or for a way to share/compile book recommendations? A question doesn't have to be the vehicle for the latter. A question like "what...
While reviewing older bug reports we discovered that the first problem is now working; the code fences show up in the diff. The second one still shows as one line without a clear diff, but I don't...
This sounds like useful content to me. I defer to the community on how best to achieve that; I'm here to offer another option from the platform side, in case it's useful. Codidact support article...
There are two issues here. The first is that this code isn't rolling over at 8PM as expected: if (now.getHours() > 20) { now.setDate(now.getDate() + 1); } This change happens at 9PM as...
The comment box is now resizable; drag the control in the lower right corner down to make the area bigger. -- Update: With the later introduction of threaded comments, the comment box lost its re...
I have some SQL scripts that contain DDL to create tables and schemas for a database. I'd like to be able to comment this SQL and then use those comments to generate output documentation (in HTML)...
I nominate Lundin, who is very active on main and meta, has proposed some initiatives on meta, and is well-positioned to help us firm up sometimes-fuzzy scope and help this young community grow.
For the git branch parameter, set Branch Filter to: origin/(.*) I found the parentheses to be counter-intuitive, because if you don't specify a filter you get: .* (No parens.) If you are filteri...
I'm using Jenkins with a branch parameter to specify the branch to build from. Other stuff downstream needs the branch name to not have the leading "origin/" -- just "feature/blahblah" or "bugfix/1...
This response is about closure in general, not any specific question. (A moderator has already addressed the specific case.) The close notice also includes the following text (emphasis mine): ...
Setting up 2FA now produces a recovery code (with instructions to save it). If you later sign in using that recovery code, it disables 2FA until you re-enable it, getting a new code in the process...
Is stream the right name, or should it be more specific? If you came across that tag in the wild, would it be obvious that it's Java streams? We also have filestream, node:stream, QTxtStream, vfs...
I was discussing this problem again with some coworkers, and one of them said "QA has that problem too -- here's what we're doing about it". At its core, having everybody add lots of tests to the ...
This is weird: I tried to edit the tags on your post to see if I could reproduce it, and the editor showed the C++ tag there even though the post did not show it. I deleted and re-added it and sav...
This was a tricky one to diagnose, but it's fixed now. Thanks for the report.
When I first saw this I thought this would be a use case for being able to apply tags to answers (which I've brought up before on Meta, IIRC). But version ranges are a little different, and I don'...
I've just lowered the reputation requirement for both Edit and Edit Tag from 250 to 200. If folks here want it to be lower -- young communities have different needs, after all -- please make a met...
Editing tag descriptions is a privilege, currently based on reputation. (Changes to the privilege system are coming, but not yet.) The threshold is currently set at 250 rep. I recognize the boot...
Based on the activity here and discussion in chat, I've enabled MathJax on this community. I don't know Mathjax myself, so as verification, I'm copying some Math I found in this Mathematics post: ...
I asked a question on Meta about allowing tags for answers a while back. You might find the discussion there helpful. I'd still like to do something to support these use cases; it's not clear wha...
