Tool or concept

How to create minimal reproducible examples

The why

They help communicate concepts, why something is working/not working, by removing distractions, and reducing cognitive load on the reader (snippet vs lengthy code). They're useful for reproducing bugs that need to be fixed. It often makes it easier to reproduce problems on other peoples machines, when you can't share the problematic code itself.

Proposed outline

Identify and Isolate the problem
Reduce the code
Create a minimal dataset
Verify reproducibility
