Writing speed isn't the bottleneck hopefully :)

  It's not a matter of writing speed, it's familiarity. I've been programming for 30 years and I don't think I've ever written code down on paper. Why ask an interview candidate to do something they've never done before and will never do again? You might as well ask them to type their code using only one hand.

    As a heavy smoker, I'd be quite good in an interview where I was forced to type with one hand.

    > I've been programming for 30 years and I don't think I've ever written code down on paper I did it once or twice when I was 8 years old and didn’t have a computer yet :)

  Writing speed probably would be the bottleneck for me - plus whatever I wrote would almost certainly be illegible to anyone else.
