Hello everyone, I was wondering why did we create another programming community besides the existing ones?

programming

programmerhumor

rust

I’m sorry if this was already answered, I didn’t manage to find a relevant post.

    As I see it perfect is the enemy of the good in this case. Rules, official or unofficial, on the “correct way” to do things stifle growth especially when there’s few contributing users. That little extra barrier is enough to keep many people from even bothering at all. You want people to be engaged and excited rather than feeling they’re beholden to a bureaucracy. Or worse beholden to an existing group of power users that control things by being the first or the loudest.
