<p>@whuber is right.  When I judge that questions would be viable on SO, I'm happy to migrate.  But most of the programming-ish questions I see don't seem good enough.  In particular, they tend to lack <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve">reproducible examples</a>.  It's also worth being clear that a, say, 'how do I use R?' question would be off topic here, and can simultaneously be off topic on SO as not really about <em>programming</em>.  That is, there can be perfectly good (and sympathetic) questions that are not on topic anywhere in the SE system.  </p>
