Maybe you haven't heard of it before? E-paper (including e-ink) displays are much less rare than actually coding on pen and paper.

What difference does it make if they heard of it, or how rare displays are vs pen/paper coding? I imagine most everyone at this point has heard of e-paper and e-ink displays, but the author clearly dropped the "e" to make it sound more intriguing.

Would you be asking the same question for a post titled "Drawing with Ink", but it linked you to a page about drawing with an e-ink display? Of course not. It's misleading.

		> Would you be asking the same question for a post titled "Drawing with Ink", If it said "coding with ink", yes, I think I just might. Try not to be so triggered. I don't think the author actually was trying to mislead. Of what use would that be? To their non-monetized blog? They're just sharing their happy moment with a "look it's like paper!" kind of vibe. > I imagine most everyone at this point has heard of e-paper and e-ink displays You'd be surprised. A few years ago, I asked about an eink reader / ebook reader at an electronics store and they didn't know what that was. Think I had to explain it to them as a tablet for reading books, but with a special display.

Really? Coding with pen and paper is very normal from my perspective. How else to you brainstorm with a colleague?

		Locally, by both sitting on the same computer. Remotely, you can use tmux and attach to the same session, but more generally you submit a PR/MR and have discussions linked to particular lines. You can also have code in discussions on issues. Whiteboards can be used, but typically for diagrams, lists, etc., not code. Coding while on the projector during a meeting is another option.
