I do not necessarily support the closing of that question, but point out that this question is significantly less broad than that other one. | |

| Jan 14, 2014 at 22:07 | comment | added | Tom Leinster | user221678: this question might be viable if you tighten it up. For a start, "everyday life" is much too broad: it sounds like you're asking for uses of category theory in going to the shops and feeding the cat. If you mean software engineering, say so specifically. Also, clarify whether you're talking about category theory in general or (co)limits in particular. (To me, it sounds odd to ask about just (co)limits.) If you asked "what are some applications of category theory to software engineering", with a bit of explanation, that might work as a big-list question. | |

explication of the helpfulness of the possible answers to this question (even few).

| Jan 14, 2014 at 19:01 | comment | added | James | Thank you, but the reason why I asked this question was that I was trying to learn category theory by myself and after studying a number of resources, it was still rather difficult for me to get an intuitive sense of the application of its concepts in my own discipline (software engineering). | |
