Wouldn't there be two main issues with getting people to post there, though?
-
First of all, you have to be ballsy enough to post in an advanced programming sub. There's always the risk of being called a n00b and sent back here.

Wouldn't it be kind of hard to get advanced programming questions answered? What if one has an advanced question about the Go compiler, but most people hanging there are Java seniors? Questions would definitely be more visible here...
Plus, for the time being this sub has < 600 subscribers. We could definitely wait a bit until we worry about people flooding it with questions about how for and while loops work.
Comment on: Interactive and short Vim tutorial
The thing is, both Linux and Vim have a massive set of instructions. Knowing the basics is always quite easy, cd here, pwd there. But once you reach a certain level, it's easy to plateau.
I've been using vim daily for the past 4 and a half years, and there's still stuff about it I'm finding out daily. Even basic stuff, like the fact that zz centers the screen at your current working position, or that sh opens the shell (I used to constantly use :! until a couple of days ago ).
I don't believe in aliens. It's magic!
