Writing code with pencil and paper (2022)
I mean people are free to do that but the last time I had to was in 1985 and that's because I was programming a KIM-1 by typing in hex codes through the keypad and I didn't have any sort of terminal.

I did the same in 1979 on an Acorn System One. Couldn't afford colour pens though so didn't have syntax highlighting like you did.
