      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.

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.

    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.
