In the "don't ask" section of our FAQ it says:
If your question would be of interest to …
- Professional and enthusiast programmers, ask on Stack Overflow.
Well, that's not right, if your question would be of interest to professional programmers, you are most likely in the right place. That part of the FAQ is not editable by mods, so we'll need a Stack Exchange employee's help to change it. Also, I can't think of a better phrasing, just that the current one sucks.
Thoughts?
For the time being, I would just drop those two sentences.
1) As it stands, it's potentially redirecting questions that should be on P.SE over to SO. (Say it with me: d'oh! Bart!)
2) Unlike SO's don't ask FAQ we're not suggesting any other site. And perhaps we should, but that's another matter.
3) Our don't ask section would read just fine without those two lines.
4) That's not the place to draw out a differentiation between P.SE and SO, which is what would be required to properly redirect.
5) I have a quibble about the professional vs. enthusiast aspects, but this question isn't the place to hash that out either. I'd say we're open to all programmers, not just professionals but I may be using too narrow a definition of professional in this case.
TL;DR
I would say to drop those two lines that you quoted.
