Using examples in software development

[Ohad Barzilay]

We are conducting an online web survey as part of a research, held in
Tel Aviv University, that investigates the use of examples in software
development. By 'using examples' we mean any use of an already
existing code in the development process.

We are looking forward to hear your thoughts on that matter. We also
believe that you may gain new insights regarding the way you work just
from filling this survey. Participating is easy, just click the link:

Feel free to forward this invitation to your friends and colleagues.

Thank you,
Ohad Barzilay

Sometimes people steal code, slap their favorite license on it, and say
they wrote it. I don't see how a survey can learn the truth.

Wasn't that topic used as an example of a hypothetical survey in some
article recently?
