I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
Well, Stack Overflow is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to stuff like this. Stack Exchange (the overreaching site that Stack Overflow is part of) includes a bunch of dedicated sub-sites for all kinds of areas of interest, with varying degrees of tolerance for opinion-based stuff or recommendations. Their software recommendations sub-site is of particular relevance here, but there are a bunch of others dedicated to other stuff, like Arduino or Game development, system administration (Super User and Server Fault), and even more abstract stuff like cryptography or computer science.
For purely opinion-based stuff though, I’d definitely tend more towards asking here on DEV over trying to find a place on Stack Exchange.
Yea, I'm partly using the other SE sites as well. But most of them have this rule to only allow questions which can have definite answers, so nothing opinion-based.
Yes, there are some rare exceptions. But then I'm also afraid that I reach maybe too less people if this is a very small SE site, and maybe my question even does not perfectly fit there.
With SE I'm also always having the problem that I'm not really quite sure which SE site to put my question on actually. E.g. right now I wanted to ask on some opinions on good or recommended practice for Git (maybe GitHub) workflow. On some specific aspect of it. Good practice is often very opinion based. I don't think there is really any SE site which allows to ask for good practice.
