I've got tons of Python, JavaScript, CSS experience, along with a splash of Java, PHP, and a spattering of C and C++. I'll be answering whatever I can; I'd love if people with skills I lack could lend a hand.
For now, I would probably try to keep all the activity in /v/programming. Splintering subverses too quickly can give the false appearance of a ghost town. But yeah, I'm certainly willing to answer programming questions.
Good point, it's definitely a bit early for splintering it out. My goal is to have 'experts' subscribed in its infancy, and as Voat grows and the subverse is finally needed, there will already be a userbase of awesome people ready to answer questions.
In the meantime I'll hang out here and try to answer any questions that pop up.
Yeah, SO can be hostile to whom the "pros" perceive as "noobs"... been there done that (from both sides).
But if your question is well formed and shows some research + code, it won't get sunk.
SO is "mean" by necessity. It ensures questions that are well formed and show some research which means less/no filtering through bullshit. I love SO, it does what it does excellently.
StackOverflow is magnificent at what it does. However, it does not allow for debate on subjective matters. This is where Voat could fill the void. But if I have a specific programming question, I'll go to duckduckgo and/or SO first. If I want a discussion, I'll come here.

Do we have a gamedev verse yet? I do a lot of Javascript game dev and tend to have plenty of questions.
Outside of that I have a lot of experience with C++ and Java, hopefully I can contribute some :)

Isn't this kind of what StackOverflow is for? Looks like unnecessary redundancy to me

StackOverflow is great, but it's honestly a bit... mean sometimes.
I personally prefer to answer questions on /r/programminghelp to it. Plus you get karma for helping instead of SO rep!

is this just for purely technical questions?
0 u/Amoliski [OP] 15 Jun 2015 03:48
Both technical and theory- as long as it relates to programming

We should put this on the sidebar!
