I thought it was actually paper coding, as many of us learned to do before coding right away into a keyboard.

And paper debugging!

Fond memories of printing programs on continuous printer paper (paper with holes on the side, that many dot-matrix printers used) so that I could take my time to read them to figure out where the bugs where.

In my case paper coding did involve the keyboard. In high school, I took a programming class at the university and they had us do our first two Fortran assignments on IBM punched cards.

I am the youngest person I know who programmed on that paper!

I'd definitely love to see more screens like this sold (and getting better & more affordable with time)!

The mira pro color is marked as sold out and I can't even figure how to check non-color version on their site, so this doesn't look like something they sell a lot of though...

While bored in class in the mid 90's I would literally code pascal on paper.

It's not the paper (and pen), it's some "paper screen" marketing.

Thank you so much for misleading me to click your link.

I had no idea Boox made these. I have two of their tablets and one of their e-readers. I can't wait to see e-ink progress as a technology.

If only I could justify the 2k. I feel like life quality would improve significantly if I had this. Do you use another monitor for calls for work?

My first university course was a C programming course. The exam was a programming task to be carried over on paper.
