| Feb 9, 2011 at 17:35 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood StaffMod | @dan in code review, you don't have a problem necessarily -- that's the crux of it. You just want people to look at your code in a very general sense.. just because. On Stack Overflow there HAS TO BE A PROBLEM. | |
| Feb 9, 2011 at 17:01 | comment | added | Daniel Bingham | @Jeff Also, how on Earth is the idea of Code Review taking place on SO "a dangerous misconception"? Sure, I get it that you want SO to be about questions with single, objective and concrete answers. But there are questions that can be asked about improving code that are not "Why is my code ugly?" They have concrete, objective answers. For example, "What can I do to make this code more efficient?" Many answers. But they are objective and they are concrete. There is gray area here. | |
| Feb 9, 2011 at 16:56 | comment | added | Daniel Bingham | @Jeff You misunderstand me. Upon reading the FAQ, I could not differentiate Code Review from SO. Reading the FAQ didn't answer my question "Why doesn't this belong on SO?" Reading your answer did. I'm suggesting you take some of your answer and put it in the FAQ. | |
| Feb 9, 2011 at 4:58 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood StaffMod | @daniel if you think "does this code make my ass look fat?" questions belong on Stack Overflow, you have a very dangerous misconception about what goes on there.. | |
| Feb 8, 2011 at 22:34 | comment | added | Daniel Bingham | @Jeff I read the FAQ and after reading the first section, found my way to this question. The question "How is this different from SO?" and or "Why doesn't this fix in a tag on SO?" was very present in my mind and not answered by the first section or so of the FAQ. Maybe it should be edited to make the subjective/objective distinction a little clearer. | |
| Feb 2, 2011 at 11:21 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood StaffMod | @roddy faq is linked at the top, on the sidebar during question asking, and it is pushed via topbar notification to new users.. it's all over the place. | |
| Feb 2, 2011 at 10:50 | comment | added | Roddy | Maybe I'm just dumb, but I'd never considered that tiny 'faq' link at the bottom of the page. I'd assumed like chat/podcast/data/legal/whatever that it was a generic SE faq rather than a site specific one. | |
