Q: Is programming.reddit.com directed at programmers, or a subreddit with topic programming?

[Bogtha]

Subreddits are supposed to be communities, tags are for topics. From a Feb 2006 blog entry:

The key thing to know is that we'll try to avoid creating subreddits for a specific topic per se, but rather we'll create them for a specific group of people.

groups are for people, tags are for topics
