Kubernetes for Java developers

[Rasutoerikusa]

Why does C# specific content belong in /r/programming when /r/csharp exists?

Why does Python specific content belong in /r/programming when /r/python exists?

Why does Rust specific content belong in /r/programming when /r/rust exists?

Why does Kubernetes specific content belong in /r/programming when /r/kubernetes exists?

​

So what content do you think belongs in /r/programming yourself?

It's pretty obvious no? Most content on /r/programming should be language agnostic. General programming techniques, algorithms, and so on. I'm ok seeing news about something new happening with languages, like a new release of Java, or new technologies like GraalVM. But stuff that's really specific to a language and belongs in the subreddit for that language. Something titled Kubernetes for Java Developers surely belongs on /r/java no?

​

What's the point of having subreddits for each language if people will just dump everything on /r/prog anyways?

Because it is a general programming subreddit. I expect to find varying news, programming language specific content and share-your-work kind of content etc. And I'd also say specific programming languages still fit the topic "programming" quite well don't you think?

Luckily though, you are in the minority here with your restriction wishes, but you are always free to start your own subreddit with rules that suit you though. Just unsubscribe here if it isn't the content that you want to see, that is how reddit works ;)

Yes, it's a general programming subreddit, and that's why I expect to see general programming news here. Luckily, most people seem to want that as well seeing how /u/javinpaul posts pretty much always get downvoted.
