As a data analyst, I find myself coming here for the interesting articles and comments too. I agree that a filter for non-programming articles would be hugely beneficial for those people in the community that do not program or those that are coming here to take a break from their general work schedule.

You can make one of those by programming :) Jk jk, I don't even know how to do that myself. I am a very novice programmerbut mostly - 3D artist who comes here for these same reasons. Good comment threads are extremely rare these days

Great! I'd just need a filter function to checkmark which tags I want to see. (preferably whitelisting, not blacklisting, so I can see something tagged with "science, programming", but not with "programming" only when I subscribe to "science".)

*"a lack of a broader sense of humor" I meant to write
The only thing I might criticise about the folks here is some openes for a broader sense of humor :P and folks thinking tech can solve any problem and is the holy grail (this might be especially true for tech in their department).
In general the comments are worth a lot though. So much easier to weed out obvious bogus articles and great for finding further thoughts on things.
