Examples ARE usage documentation.

What value is this blog supposed to be adding exactly?
The fact that top-level and API descriptive explanations are important?
The fact that some projects don't have complete documentation?
To whom exactly would this be considered new information?

This. I can't count HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES I had to either look up the source code or search GitHub for code using a function from a given library because the documentation was so laconic and/or disjointed.
