Yeah, if you basically hate coding, no amount of positive supportive environment is going to make that a fun thing to do with your free time. I really enjoy it, but I am frustrated by the learning curve thing, I can't yet program well enough to do stuff I would find really interesting, which in turn makes it hard to motivate myself to improve. DW is really helping with that, because even if what I'm doing is quite basic, knowing that it's helping the site is a big boost.
The tags thing is I think as much philosophical as technical. My understanding is that tags always have the lowest privacy of any post they appear on. So basically you can't have a private tag on a public post. There's kind of a high potential for drama otherwise. But yeah, I think a lot of people would like to be able to tag posts "that one colleague I hate" for their own use, and it feels like it would build enough on existing code that I could maybe do it. I will ask around, but my feeling is that it's not going to be encouraged as a feature.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
