I am a software engineer. I use StackOverflow to solve my daily problems. I am surprised so many are in favor of renaming to Software Engineering, as I can only see it leading to confusion.

I come here to learn software design, but taking a glance at the questions I can see there is more: workplace issues, software best practices, coding techniques, licensing, and some more—mostly software or system requirements from what I can tell. Eliminating the workplace issues as off-topic or historical, I think Software Design or Software Architecture covers the site's core while permitting the fringe topics like licensing. I believe the site leans more towards theory, so I prefer design as I think it's more closely related than architecture.

Name: Software Design

I'd like to note that there are a number of questions about workplace practices for software engineers which may be why many favor the Software Engineering name. Some of those questions belong here, but a number belong on Workplace, and I'd rather a questioner had to research which site was the best place for her question than inviting the good and the bad here.

I feel a bit out of place declaring the scope of the site when I myself am an infrequent visitor, but if I may be so bold I would declare it as such:

  • Software theory, design, best practices, and techniques
  • Software architecture including software requirements and licensing

Ergo, off-topic questions would include:

  • Help debugging code (try StackOverflowStackOverflow)
  • What tool, product, service, language, thing (these don't work well with our Q&A format)
  • Questions with a social aspect (consider asking on Workplace)

As far as what the tour should say, I can't think of any changes other than the name:
