Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.

And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!

Did they use sane or Windows-style newlines? Windows-style line endings are not supported everywhere.

Edit:
Variable-width handwriting is no longer considered a best practice and has been deprecated for a while. If the program did not compile with sane line endings, try rewriting the program in monospace, as support for legacy handwriting styles may have been dropped from non-LTS compiler releases.

You just said that somebody is in desperate need of a beating

Well, it’s not quite that bad, but it takes a special kind of person to send their very obviously visually impaired coworker screenshots instead of plaintext. And I know a few of them.

all code is written down in physical loose leaf notebooks

Hey that's MY cursed python programming method... I wonder if I still have those books

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 4 points 4 days ago

Oh, so that's what those Python notebooks are that I've heard people talk about!

That way you don't need Gimp to make edits. I like it, very human!
