Back in the dark ages of computer science exams, you'd sit there with a pencil and paper, manually writing out your code like some kind of medieval scribe. No autocomplete, no syntax highlighting, no Stack Overflow to copy from—just you, your brain, and the absolute terror of forgetting a single parenthesis that would make your entire program invalid. The real kicker? You couldn't even test if it worked. You'd hand in your paper code and just pray to the compiler gods that you didn't mess up somewhere on line 47. One missing semicolon and your entire grade goes down the drain. Modern devs with their fancy IDEs that auto-close brackets don't know the struggle of counting parentheses on your fingers like you're doing elementary school math. Fun fact: Studies show that programmers who learned to code by hand developed an irrational fear of whiteboard interviews that persists to this day.
