- From [How to ask a great question](https://meta.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask):
- > **Avoid too much subjectivity**
- >Questions like "What's your favorite way to eat an egg?" can't be answered objectively - the answer, naturally, changes depending on who you ask. On the other hand, "What's the difference between hard-boiled eggs and an omelette?" can be answered without relying too much on personal opinions. Try to ask questions that can be answered with some level of objectivity.
However, I'm not sure how subjective questions be welcomed in Codidact, especially when comparing with Stack Exchange. From observing the UX of Codidact (voting display, no accepted mark), I guess that it allows some more subjective questions than SE, especially the ones that requires structural knowledge on the field to see whether they are subjective or not, which usually the askers don't have.
