Comment Getting sucked into one publication's bubble (Score 1) 81

Part of the problem is that there's no way to pay "journalists" as a whole. Because of electronic payment networks' fees per transaction, online newspapers have to sell a monthly subscription, not a single issue they way they would with cash in a vending machine. And a subscription to NYT includes zero articles from WaPo or WSJ. This means readers get sucked into the ideological bubble of the one publication that happens to be part of their subscription plan.

From my own experience:

> Was it mostly boiler plate?

A good bit of it was, but speeding that up without having to dig through a bunch of templates saves a ton of time.

> How much of the generate code was correct?

A lot of it, but I generally only use it to complete a few lines of code at once, and do the high level thinking on my own. If you use AI that way, it's a great productivity tool.

> How much of the Copilot code makes into production?

A lot of it.
