Thanks as always for your comments!

I see where the “handwriting” word-choice was a little confusing. Yes, I definitely mean using whatever text editor you have available and not letting a WYSIWYG (like Dreamweaver’s design mode) build it for you. Writing actual code out with a pen and paper would have little value, but using those tools to sketch out initial data flows and wireframes to plan out your build is always a great idea.

Especially love the first point about knowing how things work, Even with my extremely limited knowledge of full stack I was able to understand and explain things while working with dev’s and such. I also really liked the point about keeping the ego in check. Humility is still a precious virtue and I think that one learns better if they keep themselves humble.

Haha, and stack overflow should have its own point almost. I live on that site most of my day!!!

You mentioned Coding by hand, Do you mean literal handwriting or text editor coding ala notepad ++ ? I’ve seen a lot of reference to handwriting sudo code while i’ve been learning but not many posts on actually writing out the actual code. What’s the benefit of that? Is it because of the pen/paper feel preference making it easier for you to think?
