Best source for Examples?

Hi, everyone: again my apologies in advance if this is a dumb question.
I've been reading the documentation, and there are an awful lot of TODO's still in there. It is not complete enough for me to really understand FS well enough.
The best strategy, then, is probably to read lots of examples. Where can i find the best collection of working examples? I read a couple that were pinned to this group-- but where are some others?

It's mentioned in other places, but just to be explicit here:
Our standard library contains lots of examples of FeatureScript functions being used, including all Onshape's native features. This code was written by humans, so it's likely going to be a better source for how to use FeatureScript than looking at the generated code in a Part Studio.
The full source code of the standard library is available here:

Hit the search button in the top right to search through every module of the standard library.

Its not really great code, because most of the variable names are auto-generated, but you can get some insights about functions available. As an example, though FSDoc does not ( currently ) document the map values allowed for the extrude function, if you just create a simple cylinder via extrusion in part studio, you can see all of the options created there.
