I find the opposite. I can handle a couple pages on the computer, but after that I want to print it out and tape it to the wall. It's much easier for me to find relations when looking at everything on the than trying to scroll around on the computer.
I regularly print out large amount of code across dozens of files to mane sense of someone else's mess.
- chc 13y agoI might have overgeneralized a bit. I feel like things like messy code are a different matter, though, and both kind of suck for those problems. Some kind of computer-assisted visualization† would often be more helpful than either scrolling around or manually drawing lines through 80 sheets of paper, especially as that number grows. Inevitably, retrieval gets to be really prohibitive in the real world. † Heck, even just stepping through the code in a debugger often helps me make sense of spaghetti faster than anything else, though obviously not by itself.
