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.

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...
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...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
I want to let you know that today we (Codidact team) posted our default Gen-AI policy. As far as this community is concerned I think it's consistent with what you're already doing and nothing surp...
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): ...
I was chatting with somebody who's involved with a proposal on SE for a site about language design and who is interested in other options too. Some sample questions: What are the tradeoffs b...
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...
As other answers have said, we have some of these, they're helpful, and they can be hard to write. On Codidact there's another option, should the community want to enable it: articles. An article...
I wrote this in a comment on the GitHub issue and would be interested in input: I can think of two fixes, both in the reaction-handling code: Check for an existing thread (as it does now) and...
Welcome! It's best if the code being reviewed is here on the site, for ease of reference and defense against link rot. That sounds like a sizable program; are there key parts you'd like review on...
My personal opinion (I am not speaking for Codidact) is that we named the community "Software Development", not "Programming". Testing, both unit testing done by the developer and functional/perfo...
Every URL served by your web site is recorded in your web server logs. You could brute-force your way through it by grepping for whatever the prefix is for your search URLs (for example, /search?q...
Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged p...
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'...
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...
You can now add "category:###" to a search, where ### is the number in the URL for the category, to restrict the search to one category. For example, Software Dev Q&A is 38 and Code Review is ...
I looked at your answer and those comments, skimmed the Wikipedia page, and I do not see direct copies. OOP is a fundamental topic, widely taught and widely written about. It's not surprising to ...
In git I branched feature-A from master. To reduce eventual merge conflicts later, I branched feature-B, which heavily overlaps and depends on A, from feature-A. A build of the feature-B branch s...
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...
Our web site has a widget that displays some date-based information that we retrieve from some JSON-formatted data (one object per date). We get the current date from the environment, possibly adj...
Several months ago we asked for temporary moderators for this community and two people stepped up. One of them later had to step back, leaving Alexei as a sole moderator. Alexei is doing a great ...
I'd like my web front end to be accessible, including to people who use screen readers. I know the basics about labels and alt text for images, but there are some areas where I'm not sure what a s...
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...
