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
