| Jul 21, 2013 at 10:02 | comment | added | BeowulfNode42 | @Michael Hampton, I can appreciate that, and agree that the example provided looks like some beginner dev or student messing around on their local pc due to the localhost address listed in the config, and the superuser or stackoverflow sites would of been a better place for that particular question. However my point is that real admins are asked to setup dev environments and those questions are not off topic IMO. My example is linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-virtualization-and-cloud-90/… clearly for students to use but for an admin to setup | |
| Jul 21, 2013 at 7:21 | comment | added | user9517 | @BeowulfNode42: I think you're missing the point. Most of the quality issues we have with the 'river of shit' that is the front page are from amateur 'devs' who are trying to solve problems with their home pc/mac whatever. This is not the site for them. | |
| Jul 21, 2013 at 2:47 | comment | added | BeowulfNode42 | @Michael Hampton, as a system/network admin we are often requested to setup an environment that developers can work on. Therefor IMO the setup of a dev environment does fall under the scope of ServerFault. The actual using of the dev env is for stack overflow. Example instruction from management: setup a LAMP server for 3 websites and give ssh access to the dev team. | |

| Jul 7, 2013 at 19:08 | comment | added | user9517 | @FalconMomot: We had ourselves removed from Stack Overflow's migration queue because a migrated question (about a developer environment) was a strong candidate for being crappy question. That developers come and ask (lots of) questions directly doesn't change that. | |
| Jul 7, 2013 at 19:06 | comment | added | user9517 | /about explicitly excludes developer environments too. | |
| Jul 7, 2013 at 17:35 | comment | added | Falcon Momot | I actually see someone setting up a personal website. However, I see the topic constraint as applying more to "this thing you are doing is something which is only ever done by developers and never by system administrators" than "you are a developer". I'm a developer sometimes too. | |
