Using Node Groups as instances
Using Node Groups in Blender is very convenient to simplify and optimize node trees. Having assembled a universal combination of nodes into a node group, we can easily use this group in another shader, quickly obtaining the desired result without the tedious assembly of the same nodes each time.

Simplifying the node tree using several Group Input nodes
Creating beautiful and impressive procedural shaders or geometric nodes in Blender requires building complex node trees consisting of a large number of nodes and many connections (links) between them. After some time it becomes difficult to track where this or that link, stretched across the entire node tree “on three screens”, begins and where exactly it ends. A simple trick can help to simplify the node tree a little and reduce the number of connections – using several copies of the Group Input node.

One more simple parallax shader
Shaders with the parallax effect looks very impressive when modeling windows – if the camera moves around the scene, the view from the window also shifts slightly, creating the illusion of a large open space outside the window.
