I’m comfortable reading code on a screen. I just thought it would be interesting to try printing out a whole library as a packet to get a good understanding of it as a first pass.
You’re right that you lose a lot of tooling on paper. But you can always have your laptop alongside the packet. No need for either/or. Plus, I have found that I retain things better when they’re printed out. I also like to mark up documents in pen. At the end of the day, it’s just a preference thing. And paper might actually work for the use case of just trying to understand a library; the code is static in that situation.
