    This is called bored in school. It’s a thing. But debugging isn’t supported so it’s useless

    "Think twice, code once"

    Writing your pseudo code or logic in paper first is a good way to keep your code clean. It also helps you understand your code better, like preemptive rubber duck debugging.

    @bcye the dude did this in front of his computer, he could have written his code directly on his laptop lmao

    @ODXT he was not writing a pseudo code, he was writing java code on paper before rewriting it

    In that case I see only two possibilities:

    1) He's practicing/testing his knowledge.

    2) He's a potato

    @ODXT I can confirm he's a patatoe, during the last semester, the only thing he did was browsing reddit and reading bloodborne lore. The only time he was listening was when the teacher was talking about video games lol
