  If there’s no code completion, I can tell you even people who’s been doing coding as a job for years aren’t going to write it correctly from memory. Because we’re not being paid to memorize this shit, we’re being paid to solve problems optimally.

    My undergrad program had us write Java code by hand for some beginning assignments and exams. The TAs would then type whatever we wrote into Eclipse and see if it ran. They usually graded pretty leniently, though.

      There’s nobody out there writing “commercial” code in notepad. It’s the concepts that matter, not the spelling, so if OP got a solid grasp on those from using GPT, he’ll probably make it just fine

  My first programming course (in Java) had a pen and paper exam. Minus points if you missed a bracket. :/

    I got -30% for not writing comments for my pen and paper java final.

    Somehow it just felt a bit silly to do, I guess

    It was the same for the class I took in high school. I remember the teacher saying that its to make sure we actually understand the code we write, since the IDE does some of the work for you.

  Remember having to use (a modified version of?) quincy for C. Trying to paste anything would put random characters into your file.

  Still beats programming on paper.
