@jvrrck@dragon.style @cons@lgbt.io Math is very nearly the opposite for me. I tend to make transposition errors copying a formula-in-progress from line to line (swapping numbers, misplacing operators, etc.) and generally make a hash of it, so I’m better off moving to a Computer Algebra System as soon as I can. MathStudio is installed on my phone for the purpose, for example.
@cons@lgbt.io It’s just how I think. Typing is easy, so typing the program in is the smallest part of programming. Pages and pages of sketches of data structures, algorithms, interlocking objects with APIs, and design sketches are the tools I need to understand the software I am analyzing, modifying, or creating from scratch, so I work with pen and paper until I have a solution I can straightforwardly express in a programming language.
