YC startup idea:
AI generated-articles designed to give computer programmers dopamine hits when they get to correct a small error/issue/discrepancy.
Like Zyns but distracting.
Maybe it’s like a reward. Fix a tough bug and your manager sends you an article where you get to point out that the author is incorrectly using “strawman fallacy.”

- margalabargala 3y agoThis is basically the idea behind various word puzzles. See: https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords
- paulcole 3y agoGreat point. Sudoku is one of my favorites in the word puzzle genre.
