Maybe I'm the weird one here, but even in college I never had to PHYSICALLY WRITE code.

Man, my CS Final freshman year we had to write like a three page script by hand, and you'd get points off for margin spacing. On fucking paper.

I've had job interviews where I had to hand-write a basic cms with no Internet access. With my handwriting that's not good.

Yeah, it wasn't fun!

I whiteboard my pseudocode, but that doesn't use brackets.
