We also discussed using the code snippets found on Stack Overflow, and de-
scribed a specific application, Example Overflow, that extracts these snippets to
support example centric programming. Example Overflow and other similar tools
introduce fascinating opportunities for the future developer. Integrating such tools
into the IDE would further minimize the developer's context switching, and allow
the developer to run the code example in a sandbox mode before deciding whether
it is suitable or not. IDE integration would enable auto embedding the example code
into the existing code (similarly to refactoring), and allow to auto suggest search
queries by using the developer's structural context. By accomplishing these steps,
the usage of examples will become an integral part of the software development
cycle.
