That handwriting is lovely; mine is unreadable, but indeed the older I get, the more I program on paper. And it pays off; less bugs and generally better results

That handwriting is lovely; mine is unreadable, but indeed the older I get, the more I program on paper. And it pays off; less bugs and generally better results in my field. The break shit mentality never worked but it definitely does not work in embedded. You lose a lot of time and probably prototypes (actual money) if you work like that. Writing things out and testing them in your head with maybe some level of formal proofs on paper (they do not have to be complete, just a lot of deep thinking) really saves us time and money.
