A programming snippet and a baking recipe are completely different. The first can be statically linted, fact checked against the docs, code reviewed and tested in a few seconds. Mainly it saves you the typing and finding the right name in the docs. The later: a trip to the store, an hour of rising, then 1h in the oven, then all your guests arrive, not worth the gamble.
