I feel like the crux of the problem is that to myself and many other users (based on other discussions on meta), everything on Programmers Programmers looks like garbage.
Seriously. I'm truly, sincerely baffled why people who find Stack Overflow valuable would want to throw out its defining characteristics, but that's exactly what happened. And the examples you gave don't strike me as any worse than anything else I've seen on Programmers.
I'm not saying this to be a jerk, but those of us who don't find anything on Programmers to be worthwhile are fundamentally incapable of determining which questions belong there and which don't. You're asking us to make a distinction which for us does not exist. Despite the FAQ and the other discussions on meta, I cannot comprehend why some questions are considered good on Programmers and some are not.
