This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My first programming course (in Java) had a pen and paper exam. Minus points if you missed a bracket. :/

I got -30% for not writing comments for my pen and paper java final.

Somehow it just felt a bit silly to do, I guess

It was the same for the class I took in high school. I remember the teacher saying that its to make sure we actually understand the code we write, since the IDE does some of the work for you.
