Maybe I’m the weird one here, but even in college I never had to PHYSICALLY WRITE code.
Man, my CS Final freshman year we had to write like a three page script by hand, and you’d get points off for margin spacing. On fucking paper.
Same here. Professor was an absolute clown too, his example HTML boilerplate for some project we had to do had © 1996 professor dipshit This was early 2010s. He also took points off my midterm one semester for not surrounding my JS with comment tags since, otherwise it wouldn’t run on Netscape"
I’ve had job interviews where I had to hand-write a basic cms with no Internet access. With my handwriting that’s not good.
Wait… a cms for an interview is already ridiculous, but hand written? That’s just stupid
Yeah, it wasn’t fun!
I whiteboard my pseudocode, but that doesn’t use brackets.
I can handwrite beautiful braces
For me it’s exactly the opposite. Right bracket looks perfect, left one looks like shit.
For me, neither look like braces
Pro tip: think of a bracket as an S and a 2 on top of each other. Which one is on top of which will depend on whether you’re writing an opening bracket or a closing bracket. Just try it out and you’ll see which is which.
After you try it out, as another comment pointed out, think of your 2s and Ss as surrounding a circle. That way your traces get closer to the actual shape.
WAIT A MINUTE
My technique for this a bracket with a circle in the middle.
I don’t see any difference. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
