| Apr 17, 2011 at 20:35 | comment | added | Danny Varod | The name is too confusing - if it is a site for programmers to Q&A, then it is StackOverflow. This site is about "being a programmer". So how about "To-1-Or-0-A-Programmer" or "ToBe or not(ToBe) a programmer"? | |
| Oct 25, 2010 at 18:03 | comment | added | Tim Goodman | "Developers" can mean plenty of other things depending on what industry you're in, e.g. real estate developers. Unless we are assuming that everyone who finds the site will be in software / IT, I think that's a confusing name. "Software Developers" might be better ... although I also think it would be nice if the name conveyed that the site is for non-coding questions. | |

| Oct 22, 2010 at 22:33 | comment | added | Thomas Owens Mod | @Jonas Developers is better than Programmers, but I'm not entirely sure it captures architects, law, and business. Perhaps, though. | |
| Oct 22, 2010 at 20:37 | comment | added | Jonas | I think we should use the term Developers instead of Programmers to target a broader audience. | |

| Oct 21, 2010 at 17:23 | comment | added | Michael | Right on. I think the name is confusing and puts off some great people - such as folks still holding out for the "software engineering" proposal, which as best as I can tell, the original proposal for that site is now included in the FAQ here... | |
