For a long time, software people have thought abstraction was worthier than concreteness. Test-driven design has weakened that hierarchy somewhat, because programmers have learned how to build abstraction by reacting to a long succession of concrete examples (tests).
This stage will reverse the hierarchy entirely: it doesn’t merely accept the need for examples, it will glory in them as one of the primary ways we learn, teach, communicate, test, design, code, and decide how to act in the world.
In selecting sessions, our bias was toward submissions that push the state of the practice instead of describing it, small-group sessions instead of lectures, and sessions wherein participants use their hands and feet, not just their mouths.
