| Sep 14, 2015 at 5:01 | comment | added | Ben Voigt | BTW the three tags in that blog post are metatags. The rest of the post, is just wrong. Ambiguous and meta are not synonyms either. If you want an accepted definition, better point to a meta question that was voted on, not a blog post that represents one non-expert opinion. | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 4:57 | comment | added | Ben Voigt | I didn't say it was a good tag, I said it was not a meta tag. Meta and bad are not synonymous. | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 4:48 | comment | added | approxiblue | @BenVoigt Would you defend readability? These are not good tags: they tend to attract opinion-based answers. You say they describe the code, that doesn't mean they describe the content of the question. You're using the dictionary definition of meta, not the SO definition. | |
| Sep 13, 2015 at 23:47 | comment | added | Ben Voigt | @Mogsdad: The meaning of "meta"? maintainability is after all, a property of the code, not the greater context where the developer encountered that code. meta tags like homework or code-maintenance describe that greater context, not the code itself, which is what makes them meta. | |
| Sep 13, 2015 at 23:43 | comment | added | Mogsdad | @BenVoigt What evidence backs up that statement? (maintainabiliy is not a meta tag) | |
| Sep 13, 2015 at 19:23 | comment | added | Ben Voigt | @approxiblue: Questions about tools used by programmers that solve problems unique to software development are on-topic, refactoring certainly meets those criteria. | |
| Sep 13, 2015 at 19:22 | comment | added | Ben Voigt | maintainability is not a meta tag | |
| Sep 12, 2015 at 15:52 | comment | added | approxiblue | @TimBarrass Tags for refactoring you say... I'd expect a separate burnination post for that. | |

| Sep 12, 2015 at 6:57 | comment | added | Tim Barrass | I'd agree. There are more specific practices covered by "maintaining code" that are more focused and useful, like refactoring, debuggers, unit - tests and so on. | |
| Sep 12, 2015 at 2:20 | comment | added | Mogsdad | @approxiblue I tried more positive puns, but they didn't work. Maybe "Everyone hates [maintaining-code]" or "No more [maintaining-code]"? | |
| Sep 12, 2015 at 2:18 | comment | added | approxiblue | "Maintaining code is such a large portion of a software developer's life..." and "it's a waste of time", this title pun makes me sad. | |
