OP is looking for a refactoring. I would like to redirect him to codereview.se.com: Could we do that?

I sent this text message via Python SMTP, and looks like some carriers break the messages into 2? How can I avoid this? I’m trying to send mass message to individual phones without having to pay for a number or service, just pure Python. I also don’t mind using my number, just don’t want to pay f...

This question was migrated to Code Review. However, it has multiple issues that disqualify it as a candidate for migration: It is off-topic on the target site. Close reason: Code Review requires concrete code from a project, with enough code and / or context for reviewers to understand how tha...

I need some guidance from the community. I came across this question. The question has a "working code". The user is asking us to review the question and help him make it more efficient. And this is what the 'Help' of CR says... Is this question on-topic for SO or CR?

I have seen a lot of questions asking for code improvement. Examples are this and this too. Such type of questions must be on Code Review. Users must be notified about it before they post the questions. Like in the How to ask section. Let me know your thoughts.

Today, I had a question for Stack Exchange: Include results but exclude the data in SQL query Whilst drafting the question, however, I "solved" the problem. But I wasn't sure if my solution was ideal. So, I signed up for Code Review Stack Exchange and asked it there: https://codereview.stackexc...

I'm asking in reference to this question that I just asked. Often, I'll write a piece of code that works, but is ugly or inefficient. I know that Stack Overflow is not Code Review and isn't meant to be a place where people discuss the quality of code, but is it OK to ask a specific question reg...

I know about moving questions from Stack Overflow to Code Review, but what about the other way around? It seems like almost half the questions I come across on Code Review get put on hold or closed because they are questions about how to fix code rather than improve working code, hence would be S...

I have a function that I need to alter, to allow for alternate scenarios. At the same time however, the entire method is becoming a little bit convoluted, so it does need to be proofread, and perhaps reworked so that it can work a bit smoother. Where should I ask this question? Here or on Code...

Honestly I'm starting to feel sympathy for the OPs in this scenario: They ask a question here which looks like some code review of some description, but it really isn't They get a comment directing them to Code Review They delete their post and repost there (or cross-post) They get a bunch of f...

Let's assume we have a question that contains: a small snippet of code that does not stand as a whole program (a single function, etc.) no "problem" specified by the OP, only a request for "more ideomatic code", whatever that means in your language of choice. I do not know if such a question ...

I am using stackoverflow for a month. I have been posting my doubt and answering questions. I see users are posting their doubts in code review too. What is the main difference between these two ?

Logically speaking, it would seem to me that SO and CR go hand in hand. So everytime I come across a question that would be a better fit for CR, I find it odd that I can't flag the question to migrate to CR. Before asking this question, I did my research here on Meta and found a few posts regard...

I recently was trying to figure out how to do something, and eventually came up with a solution that did work, however the code was quite inefficient and messy. I'm almost positive that there is a better way to accomplish the task, and I am just not thinking along the right lines. Since I did ha...

There's a few accepted answers here on Meta for why SO doesn't have a migration option to Code Review, however they seem to hinge on Code Review still being in beta. Since this isn't the case any more, can we have a migration option? Or are we still waiting on guidelines as to what constitutes Co...

According to the wikipedia code review is "Code review is systematic examination (sometimes referred to as peer review) of computer source code. It is intended to find mistakes overlooked in the initial development phase, improving the overall quality of software." In my case, code review is to ...

I am facing problems when trying to figure out if a question should be migrated. Last year (yes, quite a while ago), I flagged this question for migration to CR, with a custom mod flag. The message was the following one: This is asking for a code-review, which we do not do afaik. It'd be bett...

I've read in this post that the Code Review site is going to be a migration target as soon as the site comes out of Beta. What should be done with questions suited for the Code Review site until the end of the Beta phase? Flag as Blatantly off-topic and leave a comment that the person should go...

Today following question got put on hold. However, the question intrigued me and I thought the question through a bit longer, and then prototyped an answer in a different language, just for the sake of testing the algorithm. As I thought, the original author might benefit from this sample, and b...

Every once in a while, someone asks a question that belongs to Code Review no matter how you look at it. Guess what: We don't have a flag for migrating such questions to CR! This causes others to raise custom flags for migration to CR that are declined nearly every time. There should be a flag f...

After getting banned from SO , I came here to seek help The problem is i had few questions that didn't work properly as the code was right and probably I can blame JDK for that so I got few negative votes. But now everything is working fine and I just want to go back to SO I mean I want to get ...

SO or Code Review? I would say Core Review, since it is for improving the code, but.. thus I felt I should ask. Stimuli: How can I change this code to be more efficient?

Why isn't Code Review an optional alternative site suggestion, to move a question to, when voting that a question is off topic? I think that is where this question needs to go: MDX Efficiency, measures from the same Hierarchy (in Excel VBA)

If you trying to learn new framework or programming language, documentation and examples isn't usually enough. In my case it is Django. There are so many ways to create multiple types of users and registration etc. that newbie is very confused. I'm curious, whether is this a good place to put m...

An unhelpful Help Center… Questions asking for open-ended suggestions to improve working pieces of code appear to be unwelcome on Stack Overflow, and many such questions do get closed. However, it's not obvious why such questions would be against by the rules. Some excerpts from the Help Cente...

According to http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic these subjects are on-topic: a specific programming problem, or a software algorithm, or software tools commonly used by programmers; and is a practical, answerable problem that is unique to software development Similarly, t...

It's been a year since this was discussed Add Code Review to 'belongs on another site' now that the site has graduated What is the latest progress with this?

Sometimes there's a clear line between when you should post on StackOverflow and when you should post on CodeReview. So it was pretty surprising to see this question getting so much positive feedback: Print all numbers with nonzero digits in ascending order It's an interesting little program, ...

I asked a question on CodeReview today about improving the preformance of my application. I thought it was best suited their because their help center says: If you are looking for feedback on a specific working piece of code from your project in the following areas… Best practices a...

I have a finished piece of code that I submitted on code review. As I did not have had any answer nor comments, I was wondering if it could be a good idea to submit it on SO too. I'd be glad to know if this question would also fit SO, if it's ok to duplicate in such cases, and the reasons of wha...

Right now, when someone creates a new question on SO, they see the "How to Ask" box with the following: Is your question about programming? We prefer questions that can be answered, not just discussed. Provide details. Share your research. Often with "newer" users, I see questions...

If the question is also suited for StackOverflow, should I delete it from CodeReview if I didn't have any answers on it and ask it on StackOverflow or can I keep both alive?

I've been working on a VBA macro that parses HTML into a an Excel sheet. The code is functional, but extremely slow (it takes roughly 20 seconds to fill 270 lines from columns B to M). Due to the code being functional, I suspect it would be best submitted to Code Review. But. The code I have is ...

As seasoned programmers we're always aware that we can end up with some crazy code scenarios that take some time to pick apart and really grasp what is going on. I recently came across a single line of code that at a very quick glance looks fine, upon closer inspection appears to have a fixable ...

I tried to vote to close a question because it was more appropriate to ask on http://codereview.stackexchange.com, but the site didn't appear in the list of sites available for migration, why?

I wanted to flag How can I improve my code? - A program that displays students details as offtopic > migrate because i guess it belongs to codereview, but I cant because is not in the list... why? I should make another action or what?

There is Codereview site. Why on earth does Stackoverflow need a code-review tag?

Does it required to allow code snippet without executable script/code? below code example for java having a code snippet, but there is no use of using it. Is there any way to allow only java script and html (which are executable)? and restrict those features(JAVA, C#, SQL.. etc) are not availab...

how to make this code shorter and optimal? begginer Above is a simple example of a real-world software problem, certainly on-topic here. Hash table linear probing collision resolution not being applied correctly This code doesn't work, so it actually doesn't belong on Code Review. Binar...

I regularly come across StackOverflow comments which take this form: I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it belongs on codereview.stackexchange.com This always bothered me. I've read the StackOverflow help center. I've read the CodeReview help center. No where in eithe...

I sometimes recommend people to post their question on Code Review, and I see others do this too. So far so good. But often people actually close-vote the question too, and I wondered if this is fair. After all, CR is still in Beta, so maybe using it should not be forced but only advised.

I flagged a question for migration, but I also flagged a comment because it was not constructive to the situation. No problem :-) But I would delete this question before you get down voted – Ascalonian 7 mins ago I don't think the user should delete the question when migration, as is, is...

I met this question yesterday, and vote for close as I think it's more about code review: Closing >Off Topic>Other>"I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this belongs on Code Review" My reason has been converted to a comment (get deleted now), and the question eventually ...

The following Stack Overflow question, Modifying excel code to speed up the process was just migrated over to Code Review. When it was first posted 23ish hours before it was migrated, I read it over and thought it would be a good candidate for migration. The user is basically asking for a way t...

Today I had a question about some code I wrote. My question was put on hold and I was told to go to codereview, because the code was complete. (it was complete but I tried to shorten it, which didn't work for me at first) But the folks over there told me that the question was off-topic, because...

My code works, but I would like to ask if: is it a good solutions is it not too slow is it following best practices is there a better/shorter/clearer code/solution is this solution introducing hidden bugs? Or I just want to learn from the community. Where should I ask this type of question? ...

I came across once-only lisp macro, yet another implementation today, in which the OP is following up on a previous question whereby OP had improved some code, presumably fixing it. I tried implementing my own macro for the same purpose earlier, but it had a bug, as pointed out at once-only l...

Now that Code Review has graduated, can the site be added to the community-voted migration targets list? Current 90-day migration stats show that with 92 migrations and 9% rejections it is doing better than Tex.SE migrations (61 / 13%) for example. On the whole, the community appears to underst...

There are several flagging options akin to the following: Questions about general computing hardware and software are off-topic for Stack Overflow unless they directly involve tools used primarily for programming. You may be able to get help on Super User. I frequently see new users ask...
