Why do this?
When developers are learning something new or formalizing a direction for a project, they often turn to others in the technical community to seek their advice and expertise. This experiment explores a new space on Stack Overflow where users can share quality, subjective content related to an area of practice.
Discussions can provide a fluid, conversational way for users of all skill levels to tap into the collective knowledge of the community. They can explore technical approaches, share different perspectives, and make more informed technical decisions.
