Asking good open-ended questions isn't that much easier than asking good ordinary questions. I hope people come up with them, and with clear guidelines or scopes.
Jul 10 at 19:54 comment added M-- We can close them now including duping, can't we? Or edit them out of OEQ and make? I haven't looked close enough, I should say.
Jul 10 at 19:39 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution But a lot of other questions will simply be ordinary programming questions missing some details, where people think that labeling them open-ended will still give them answers but with less work.
Jul 10 at 19:36 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution @M-- I agree although I'm not sure how many that will be in the end. There was a Q&A where people could post positive and negative examples and there wasn't a single positive example. How many "what is the best way for a beginner to learn programming in 20XX?" questions can you ask before they become duplicates and need curation work? I don't want to say that everything is bad but we should have realistic expectations of how many pearls are there. Categories that I can think of that might be helpful would be best practices for specific tasks or approximate strategies for complex problems maybe
Jul 10 at 17:04 comment added M-- To be fair, the horrendous format and lack of moderation was partly responsible for the uselessness. I am sure that we won't see a huge jump in the quality of those posts, but I think we'd see better posts here and there.
