I only use pen and paper for sketching diagrams and graphical relationships between things. This is probably the main use for paper & whiteboards - they are MUCH cheaper than their digital equivalents for drawing regardless of size.
Writing out pseudocode on paper is… okay… although not my preference. It’s okay if you get stuck and want a context switch.
Writing out syntactically correct code, including commands like “sudo” on paper on the other hand is an enormous waste of one’s own time. God help this man if he ever takes up Java programming. Just type actual computer code like this on computers so you can run it and see if it works. Then if it doesn’t you can just use backspace instead of an eraser.
