Real programmers use pen & paper, phonies don't.

When did people stop writing properly? Pic related

Read this before acting like a retard ITT

I use the pen of my 1200 USA dollars Samsung tablet. Nothing personal chud.

How do I run this?

Shit code m8.

My calligraphy was always shit, but I can write cursive.
I think everybody here in Brazil, at least from my generation, can, since we leave non-cursive behind really early in our education.

>>105657042
Before the computer

>>105657010
I like writing in cursive but had to stop because I was the only one who could read it.

You should be able to hold that amount of code in your head without it down.

Use chatgpt for that retard. It knows DS and Algos better than knuth

>>105656983 (OP)
was about to call you based but then i saw you're just another brainrotted larper who fetishizes terminals

>>105657150
disagree
I'm not talking about linked lists and b-trees, anon

LLMs don't even know DSA better than the browns on Leetcode.

I had a teacher at uni who hated giant code, so his tests were all written on paper. In Java...
Some programmes were 15 pages long.
This was how I learnt not to duplicate code and to write proper classes.

>>105657218
no, that was a completely random drawing when thinking about a separate problem from what most of those sheets show

Absolutely nothing in this page needed to happen. Go do some real work instead of tinkering with your tranime porn collection

>>105657249
That's not a piece of paper

>>105657061
go back to your tablet faggot

Ladies and gentleman... We got him

>>105657258
correct, it's an impementation of an idea explored on paper

>>105656983 (OP)
I used to do this when I was like 16, trying to create Java projects.
I never learnt anything sadly.

This is guy is baiting.
But it’s a good habit to formulate the solution in your head before writing it down.
It trains your brain.
Educators went too far with “you should write it down” advice.

>>105657326
Trains your brain to do what exactly? And how is it useful in coming up with solutions to different problems in the future?

>>105656983 (OP)
Good for beginners, but as you progress it's too inefficient to write code on paper. It transitions into a good tool for visualization, brainstorming, and mapping your thoughts.

>>105657695
Actually it's the other way around hard for beginners and necessary for advanced programmers.

>>105657010
I like nice legible handwriting but cursive fucking sucks

>>105657010
In like 3rd grade

>>105657010
Post your handwriting.

Real programmers use pen & paper for proofs, not for writing code they have to then type into their computer.

>>105657941
>proofs
Real programmers aren't cucked ancient greek cultists. Experimental evidence / "proof certificates" are good enough I don't need factor 2^google^google - 1 to prove that my program is correct

>>105656983 (OP)
writing out the syntax seems really stupid, but it might be good for remembering it.
i have "written" programs out on paper a lot but its usually abstract system thinking like a mindmap and writing out the steps i invision things doing and working together.
that's SO much easier to do via scribbling on paper than mind map software or drawing programs.
