[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]Except I type about 100 wpm. I write about 20. I somehow doubt I'll save any time.
Algorithms and psuedo-code are one thing, handwriting programs is just a sign of mental incapacity.[/QUOTE]
Who said that you have write everything
explicitly on a piece of paper? I write sloppy for extra speed; only the author has to be able to read his or her work. I don't fully spell method and variable names, usually shortening them to single letters or symbols (several chemistry and physics courses can make one easily adopt the greek alphabet

). I don't consider coding standards when writing. The priority is to get all ideas on the paper for later reference; aesthetics don't matter. Overall, such measures can save a lot of time instead of just typing and staring at a computer screen, straining your eyes as you think about something you didn't prepare for. Of course, another big benefit is that you can easily see if your code is optimal before you use a computer. In RL, the first version can be garbage (in comparison to what would be realized as a better alternative); there is no point typing and debugging it if you can scrap it ahead of time.
I also design programs (on the scope of a set of classes), write essays, and complete some random tasks (ex. cutting my nails) with scrap paper. It's a versatile medium.
WTF do you mean that handwriting a program is essentially a sign of mental incapacity? Seriously, STFU.
