This document discusses using examples in software development. It argues that embedding existing code examples within new contexts (example embedding) can increase productivity if done habitually and correctly with the right tools and environment. Some benefits of example usage include faster coding, more reusable code, and promoting learning. However, barriers include a lack of awareness of examples, skills needed for embedding, trustworthy example repositories, and cultural/organizational issues. The document examines how to apply example embedding and proposes building example sets, reference applications, and using examples to address syntax errors or embed third-party code. It emphasizes the need for reflection on professional work and techniques.
