Why should examples in lessons use roles like 'a developer' instead of invented names?

Examples in lessons should use roles, not invented names. A role allows any person in that role to understand the example directly. This makes the lesson useful to more people.

The rule

Examples in lessons should use roles, not invented names.

A role allows any person in that role to understand the example directly. This makes the lesson useful to more people.

An example with a name, like Maria, feels specific to one person. A reader from a different place or culture might find it hard to relate. The reader must imagine themselves as that specific person. An example with a role, like 'a developer,' has no specific owner. Anyone who is a developer can see themselves in the example. The lesson becomes clear and useful to many people. Using roles makes the situation the main point, not the person. The situation can be understood by everyone. A specific name is not universal.

A developer reads a lesson that says, 'Maria found a bug in her code.' The developer might think about Maria, not the bug. If the lesson says, 'A developer found a bug in the code,' any developer can easily relate to finding a bug.
