> Don't look too deeply into the code samples for specifics though, they are a pastiche Your article here seems to avoid falling into this particular trap, but I consider this a problematic view for authors to hold. In software writing, code listings have equivalent weight as figures and tables, and are often what readers will look at first to get an overview of the article. If they don't adequately demonstrate the argument of the text or don't appear to be plausible, the entire article will fall flat.
