Speechless, after the power outage in Taiwan Province, programmers were asked to write code with paper and pencil

Hello everyone, I'm the principal.

This weekend, let's talk about something fun and relax and entertain.

At 9 o'clock on March 3, a large-scale blackout occurred in Taiwan Province without warning. It is said that the blackout caused a total of 5.49 million households in Taiwan. Some local media in Taiwan visited the scene and learned that at about 9 a.m. on the 3rd, the Xingda power plant had made a mechanical noise, and the sound was maintained for half an hour, but no open flame was seen.

Affected by the power outage, a software development company in Taiwan Province had to let programmers write code with paper and pencil in order not to delay the construction period. "There is no way, you can't affect the construction period because of the power outage."

Then there was a very strange scene: around 11 a.m., 6 programmers in the company were at their workstations, lighting up with their mobile phones and writing code with pen and paper.

Let's wonder, use the phone to light up, use paper and pen to write code?

But where to use some brains, it should be more convenient to write code with a mobile phone, ah, do not have to copy again, written in the mobile phone, a key copy and paste on the computer is not convenient?

Not to mention, there is also a phone-based editor, how convenient is it to use this?

In addition, I would like to say this software company in Taiwan Province, what is the specific business? Is it not okay to let employees take a break after a power outage? If employees don't write code for a day, the company has to go out of business?

From this point of view, the survival pressure of Taiwan Province is very large, and the life of enterprises is not good.

In fact, to be honest, I am skeptical about the usability of writing code with pen and paper, and I feel that this is undoubtedly a waste of time, leaving the code written by the editor, and the time spent debugging bugs is more wasted than rewriting it on the computer.

In addition, without the editor, it is equivalent to writing code away from the architecture and modules of the project, so when you write business code, how do you do the function references between the various packages and classes? Is your company writing simple algorithmic code?

If I write assembly, I feel that it is still understandable, if it is really writing business code of software, I feel that the form may outweigh the meaning.

It can be seen that the internal volume competition in our Taiwan Province is also very strong, and it is really bitter for these programmers.
