Ask HN: Would you enjoy using pen/paper over laptop for development?

Number 2 has existed for decades and it failed, or at least everywhere I’ve worked that tried it has since abandoned the concept. Have a look at IBM’s Rational Software Architect for an example.

In college I had a UML class and used Rational Rose. I did not like it for software development. I am very happy I have not had to use this for software development in the wild.

Not for writing code, but I do enjoy pen and paper for sketching out high level designs and data flows. I’ve started writing on an A5 sized notebook too - I find the size constraints help with focused thinking.

No, wouldn't use it, sounds at least 10x slower than typing.

I like writing code structure down on a piece of paper before actually coding.
