noamtm1568yto directly answer your question... βΊ
it was in my first year of college. we had to print out our c++ programming exercises and hand them with a 1.44mb floppy.
But it was 15 years ago. Google was relatively new and gmail wasn't invented. -
Before I understood copyright procedures and laws, I printed some code that I wrote for a soccer league. I've learned my lesson since then.
-
@noamtm Yep, same for me. And the same kind of era too. Even then I thought it was archaic.
-
I had to print all my code and turn it on a floppy disk as well in college for a real time OS course, this was 2 years ago. π
-
@monothorn Nah, they're good for the most part. Tbh I didn't even know we had a printer until grandad rocked up with a stack of paper.

@tisaconundrum "Any printer is a 3D printer if what you want to model is a stack of paper."

pr0t0n6078ySome of my grad professors used to ask to submit code as a print out. I'm like why??!!
-
@zeprod There's a generation that insists that screens are hard to read on, because they had wobbly, flickering CRTs when they were young, and they haven't noticed we have 4K LCDs now.
-
pr0t0n6078y@fuckfuckityfuck I wonder how would they find bugs by just reading. I find it hard to read code especially when it's 100s or 1000s of line. I rather use debugger

xroad23808yIt's kinda understandable for school and the teacher has to grade. But for code review - seriously, wtf. Was he kidding?
Senior architect-type person at work wants me to review some code he's written. Is it on GitHub/Gitlab/Bitbucket etc? Nope. "Here, I've printed it out for you. " π
When was the last time you printed code out? Also it's in black and white, times new romanπ±π
