We now have a new noise tag, code-chess, courtesy of this subjective question
The thin end of the wedge (code-golf) is well on its way to becoming a gaping wound. Now would be an excellent time to migrate these and similar 'puzzle' non-questions elsewhere. I suggest all of it be moved to https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/ so they can hate on it for a while ;-)
A "gaping wound"? That question (and it's tag) has been with us since February. There's still only one of them.
I see no huge surge in "code chess". Or why "now would be an excellent time" - given it's been around for seven months.
To me, this sounds like another rehash of the old debate about code golf. Which as far as I am aware, is still accepted by the community.
Note that where Code Golf belongs was discussed on Meta.Programmers.SE, and while there was no consensus as to where they belong, there was consensus that they don't belong on Programmers.SE.
Code Golf questions seem to have a home on Stack Overflow, and bringing up that they should all be closed as off-topic is beating a horse that's been dead since old times. The only way I can see that happening is if the Code Golf Area 51 proposal gets off the ground.
code-golfseems to clearly fall within Stack Overflow. I mean the answers are code, and the question is how to write a certain piece of code.... programming Q & A. --------- There's guidelines as to how frequently questions should be asked.... of course I don't wantcode-politics(spaghetti code, obv) etc etc.... Maybe a separate thread about justcode-chess? ------------ Note: there's only 1code-chesspost currently.[code-darts]. Just keep making random changes to your code until it works.[code-chess-boxing]and[code-extreme-ironing].code-golfand say that it is not a "gaping wound." I'd up vote a move to bancode-chessas subjective and argumentative.
