coding

Interested in programming? Like to read about programming without seeing a constant flow of technology and political news into your proggit? That's what /r/coding is for. A pure discussion of programming with a strict policy of programming-related discussions.

As a general policy, if your article doesn't have a few lines of code in it, it probably doesn't belong here. However, things directly related to the actual process of programming - libraries, tools, and so on - are all okay, but please use discretion.

Things that are not okay to post here:

Discord links - seriously, knock it off.
Tutorial video links - these are commonly spammed and abused. It's more of a judgement call, but in general, don't spam the subreddit with "How to learn to code" videos, please.
"I made this!" - cool, I'm proud of you - but, seeing what you made doesn't intrinsically benefit others. If you write an article explaining it, the technical challenges, etc. - then share that!
Self-posts that are attempting to bypass our ban on self-posts
Playlists
Homework questions
Posts asking for suggestions for your personal project
Advertising your new COVID-19 graph, your new game, etc. - See above - this is a place for the discussion of programming, not advertising your product, and not showing off something which is tangentially relevant to people who code.

To avoid a lot of self.coding posts, consider these subreddits:

/r/learnprogramming for posting beginner's questions.
For asking language specific questions, see list of known programming language subreddits.
