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.

I've started a [discussion on main Meta inspired by part of this post](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/295174). I'd love to see your and everyone else's feedback on the ideas I suggested there. (That's only one part of what you wrote about; we're not ignoring the rest but carving off practical piec... (more) |

Thank you for the detailed feedback! Capturing first impressions is really helpful for those of us who've been here long enough to forget, and you've done a great job in explaining your reactions. Much appreciated! (more) |

A: UI says pending edits when there are none This is a bug, not caching -- we are failing to show pending edits on deleted posts. If you can see deleted posts you should see the pending edits, and if you can't see deleted posts you shouldn't see the dot for them. Thanks for the report. (more) |

A: Renaming a tag to an existing one fails silently Renaming to an existing tag now gives this error message: > Failed to rename the tag. This is at least an error message... The error handler there only knows that it failed, not why, but I think we can check for the already-exists case nearby and produce a better error message. I've filed a Gi... (more) |

I linked to this question on Mastodon, hoping to find someone who can answer, and got [a response](https://masto.deoan.org/@neurovagrant/114535585088751040) saying probably not but you can try `rndc dumpdb -cache`. I don't know enough to evaluate that suggestion or help turn it into an answer if it ... (more) |

Recommendations for users could also be possible on Power Users, so maybe try a meta discussion there before proposing a new community. (I don't know if they would be interested, but worth asking.) (more) |

This is a good point. I link interesting questions I run into (across the network) on Mastodon sometimes, which isn't the same exposure as HN but probably still helps. Wherever folks are, think about sharing interesting questions in a non-spammy way. (more) |

A: Do we want MathJax? Based on the activity here and discussion in chat, I've enabled MathJax on this community. I don't know Mathjax myself, so as verification, I'm copying some Math I found in this Mathematics post: > In the proof of Theorem 2, we are aligning the $x1$ axis with the vector $\gamma$. That is, $\fra... (more) |

Since leaving that comment, I've set up a local server and confirmed that yes, if there are pending migrations when you start the server, you'll be prompted to run them. Our production deployment script catches that before it gets to starting the server (no prompt, which is good for an automated pip... (more) |

@#63480 thanks for the Wikipedia info. Their RfA process is the kind of lightweight approach I'd like us to take here. Basically: propose candidates, give the community a chance to weigh in with support or concerns, and then proceed. Unlike on SO, Codidact mods do not have access to any PII, so th... (more) |

| Comment | Post #293312 |
This is a good point: we failed to say anything about selection. This decision belongs to the community, not the staff, as much as possible. If we get one nomination and all the votes are upvotes, we'd just appoint that person (uncontroversial). If there are a bunch of nominations or some have neg... (more) |

Call for moderators (2025) The Software Development community on Codidact recently reached an important milestone. Thank you to everyone who invests in building this community. We'd like to ask for a little more help. Alexei has been doing an outstanding job as a (currently solo) moderator, but it's better to have more th... (more) |

Yes, it's too difficult to earn the higher abilities as things are implemented now, and we've wanted to rework this for a while. [This Meta question](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/288363) has a lot of discussion of how we might address this -- more input welcome! With the system we have now, we c... (more) |

A milestone for Software Development - congratulations! When we launch a community on our network, it starts in "new community" mode to ease bootstrapping. This means that all users start with the Participate Everywhere ability, which lifts new-user restrictions (mostly rate limits). The Software Development community is doing well -- you have a lot o... (more) |

@#64656 yes, tag hierarchies exist. There might be some ontological problems building out the hierarchies you want, because we don't support multiple inheritance (a tag cannot have more than one parent). Suppose you have a question about designing a Java API. You'd want to tag it `java` and `api`,... (more) |

I strongly agree that program design is an important part of programming, especially for beginners but really for everybody because the things we learned when we were beginners might have since been superseded. (more) |

A: Comparing our site scope to Stack Overflow Some relevant history for consideration (not an answer about specific scope boundaries): When we started to discuss a programming or software community, we were concerned about premature fragmentation. We had a lot of discussion, which we ultimately resolved as a single community open to spin-off... (more) |

A: I created a tag, now it need edit. Is `stream` the right name, or should it be more specific? If you came across that tag in the wild, would it be obvious that it's Java streams? We also have `filestream`, `node:stream`, `QTxtStream`, `vfs-stream`, and the more general `data-streaming`. A moderator can both rename the tag (if tha... (more) |

Or, I suspect, the asker's thinking is: I'm writing my novel, saving "v37" etc isn't really a good way to manage checkpoints, also I want to be able to easily jump back to a good state from before I added that doomed plotline... how would I use source control to make my life easier?

A: Where should I ask git questions? (Speaking personally, not for the team.) People using `git` are usually using it in a software context, and Software Development's scope is intentionally broad, so they definitely fit here. This is where most of them end up. That's fine. Questions about `git` can be on-topic elsewhere too. C... (more) |
