15:33 pdurbin "People who are trying to learn have no place to ask questions on [Stack Overflow]" -- a new comment at https://plus.google.com/u/1/+PhilipDurbin/posts/MMjogR5WB17
15:33 pdurbin "Well, with StackOverflow, I feel out of place because my goal is really to learn. I cannot guarantee StackOverflow I won't be asking stupid questions while trying to learn and as a result, I've deleted my StackOverflow account."
15:34 pdurbin sad
15:36 pdurbin the commenter is doing iOS development, it looks like ( http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/213985/why-do-people-downvote-questions ) but I'm not sure of a resource that's similar to stackoverflow but not so hostile
15:44 pdurbin maybe the Google Group associated with http://cs76.tv (Building Mobile Applications)
18:08 sivoais It would be nice if SO could use its platform to foster more discussion oriented questions. Some of the stackexchange sites are better at this, but what I mean is questions that aren't necessarily meant to have a single answer.
18:12 sivoais e.g. someone designing an ORM might want to ask about the different kinds of features/interfaces people see in ORMs and asking on there might supplement their research
18:13 sivoais And I think that would be useful because people that are familiar with ORMs in general or a particular ORM would find it

18:36 pdurbin sivoais: maybe they'll work something out with Discourse or something... programmer chat :)
18:42 sivoais ah, I haven't been following that! I remember reading the blog post about it
