> I haven't had an assignment printed and marked up in over 10 years.

That’s unfortunate. In my experience editing/commentary done on a paper copy is of noticeably higher quality (both when I am reading someone else’s work, and soliciting feedback). It’s not entirely clear why... maybe paper and pen puts the reader in the right frame of mind?



This is true. I've had a number of digital comments over the years that start:

  Zwayhowder,
And end because enter submits the comment not starting a new line :/


Screens distract... Even when I need to think hard about a programming problem, I walk away from the computer.
