There are many discussions ([1][1] [2][2] [3][3] [4][4] [5][5] [6][6]) about what is currently or what should be off-topic or on-topic. That question is asked again and again but the way this community is managed is not going to happen anytime soon. Meanwhile, moderators & community are doing their job by closing many questions from (sometimes desperate) programmer seeking for help from other programmers (this is us). **Instead of closing the questions by only stating that it's off topic, should we seek for viable alternatives to propose them?** This would help to make the internet better isn't? A place where people could find help from their peers. Or should we consider that it's not our problem.
