maybe it’d be a good idea to break the open thread into categories
LW has periodic discussions about the need / desirability / implementation of a more granular system of organizing posts. So far these discussions have resulted in nothing, apparently “it’s too hard to do” (tm).
But again, if you think it’s a good idea, just do it and we’ll see how that experiment will play out. For an example you can see how the media thread works.

True, but I think permission would be beneficial because I sense that people are hesitant to go against the norms.

I don’t think I’m a good enough coder yet to contribute, but I’m starting a coding bootcamp on Monday and I do hope to be able to contribute in the next few months.
Who, do you think, should be the one to give you the permission?
Some sort of site guidelines and a UI that makes it clear. For example, if there were categories, it would be clear that the posts in the category are acceptable.
I’m far from a conformist, but I think norms definitely do have a purpose. I don’t really have any strong opinions on permission culture in general that I could articulate well.

Heh. Who, do you think, should be the one to give you the permission? :-) And how do you feel about permission culture in general? X-D
Besides, I don’t think there are any strong existing norms about putting brainstorming posts into the open thread.
