| Aug 8, 2014 at 21:02 | comment | added | Rachel | While looking for example questions, I did see quite a few where the tag was probably not needed and could easily be removed. However I also didn't see any harm in leaving the tag there as a way of providing context to the question and answers, and for categorizing the post for those that are specifically interested in following the software-industry tag. Also in many cases, it's often the answerers that would know if the question is general enough that the tag is not needed, not the asker, so I don't see any reasonable way of enforcing the tag to be applied narrowly without excessive editing. | |
| Aug 8, 2014 at 20:51 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | Rachel, thanks for the additional info. Yes, I can see your point now. Would you agree that the software-industry tag should be applied narrowly -- to questions that are particularly about that, but not to questions that could be for any industry but happened to be asked about a software setting? | |
| Aug 8, 2014 at 19:57 | comment | added | Rachel | @MonicaCellio I had to add the examples to the answer itself as the links made it too long to fit into a comment. Hope I picked good links... was trying to find ones that wouldn't detract from the main question and answer here :) | |

| Aug 8, 2014 at 19:42 | comment | added | Rachel | I'll see if I can hunt some down for you @Monica. The first thoughts that come to mind are questions related to giving/taking code tests, resume layout questions specific to the tech industry like how to list technologies or side projects, or how to stay current with a rapidly evolving industry. I'm sure some of these questions could apply to other professions as well, however knowing they are specifically for the software-industry allows us to write industry-specific answers that have context as opposed to generic answers that are designed to try and accommodate every possible scenario. | |
| Aug 8, 2014 at 19:18 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | I'd like to better understand your perspective (as I often agree with your posts). Could you link to a few questions where this tag acts as a useful filter but the question is not so generic that there would be an industry-wide catch-all answer? Thanks! | |
