ciupicri has it right. I mention above, I think of it like practice shots in basketball, or going to the batting cage for baseball. While coding isn't as physically demanding, it definitely takes time and practice to get better at it. Forcing someone to write the code versus copy/paste gives them just a little more practice at the discipline.
- x1798DE 11y agoI don't know why you would want to force people to do this. There's nothing stopping someone from hand-copying code if you use text, but you're using the wrong format if you encode it as an image. So, as a result, in addition to losing copy+paste (which may be useful for someone who doesn't want to "Learn Python the Hard Way"), you also lose Ctrl + F, and if you're using an animated GIF, you also lose the ability to stop at a specific point or move around. Overall, I think the right answer is to use the appropriate format and let people sort themselves out.
