This has been asked many times before:
- Compare the Help Center On-Topic page for Programmers to the Help Center On-Topic page for Stack Overflow.
- What's the difference between Programmers and Stack Overflow?
- Choosing between Stack Overflow and Programmers Stack Exchange
- When do these questions belong on Programmers instead of Stack Overflow?
