Coding on paper Memes

Nothing quite like spending four years learning to copy-paste from Stack Overflow, only to have your final exam demand you write a binary search tree with a pen. On paper. Like some sort of medieval monk transcribing manuscripts. The sheer panic when you realize your muscle memory is "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V" and "Google how to reverse a linked list" but now you actually have to remember what a pointer is. Without syntax highlighting. Without autocomplete. Without the comforting glow of your IDE telling you that you forgot a semicolon on line 47. Bonus points if you've been using Python for three years and suddenly need to manually manage memory in C++. On paper. Where you can't even compile to see which of the 47 errors you made are actual errors versus just your handwriting looking like a seismograph during an earthquake.
