I was looking through the questions and I found this one:

"What are the typical day-to-day tasks of an entry level games programmer?"

After some thought I decided that I wanted to close that question. The question is overly broad. There are hundreds of different task one can perform daily as a games programmer and these task are totally dependent on the game you're building, how far you're in the project, what technology you're using, what department you're at, how big the studio is, etc...

So closing it is. So I clicked the question and saw that it had 45 upvotes, 28 favorites, an accepted answer with 77 upvotes and zero close votes. So I'm confused now. Is this a good question? And if not, what should we do with it when it is so obviously a popular topic.
