@W3dd1e @codeinabox For what it's worth, a lot of pretty famous programmers did/do write code by hand. They often have an assistant of some kind do the actual typing after it's done. It can be an interesting experience.

That is a far cry from where we started.

"Code is primarily to communicate from human-to-human, and only incidentally for computers to execute"

@PoY @who

It really can't be stated strongly enough, the damage this advice has done. When I first started seeing it, I rolled my eyes thinking, "This is obviously a mistake, even new students won't ignore reality>". 20 years later, jokes on me, all the software is slow and bad.
