The market for IT skills in Columbus is pretty fractured (what you see available in the Dublin/WorthingtonH/illiard is vastly different from what you see in Pickerington or Grove-tucky), and that's just one metro area...on a global site you're talking about entirely different countries and cultures and legal frameworks. | |

| Dec 11, 2014 at 19:34 | comment | added | Warner | Agreed with generic "Workplace" content, Hopeless. Stuff like this albeit not directly but still related to the type of content I think of: kalzumeus.com/2011/10/28/dont-call-yourself-a-programmer/… ... or this: ansible.com/blog/… | |
| Dec 11, 2014 at 19:01 | comment | added | HopelessN00b Mod | Since you mentioned Workplace... it's where I go when I need a laugh, want to stare at trainwrecks, or remind myself that my employers (whom I really dislike) aren't that bad, in the grand scheme of things. The site (or it least its low-lights) should be required reading for anyone who thinks they want those type of questions of ServerFault. As amusing as it is to read questions from people wondering if it's OK to use company resources and information to stalk an attractive female employee, I don't want to see that kind of question here. | |

| Dec 11, 2014 at 18:27 | comment | added | Warner | That's fair. There's numerous other questions of higher quality that apply. The example I provided was most convenient for me but unfortunately not the best example. I can see a single well-asked question on that topic being valuable and serving as the "sole source," as is done with many other questions. | |
