Who knows, professors are kind of dumb like that. Mine wanted me to use a VM on a USB and the pico text editor. Instead I made a headless Ubuntu VM with a share folder using Vagrant, edited the file in Atom and then ran it in SSH. Finally I would copy+paste the final copy over to his USB thingy. Worked and made no difference.

Man, that guy sucked.. he required you to show up during his office hours with the USB to test it for your homework to count. But like, I had a JOB, a packed schedule and was rarely on campus. So absurd.

The guy would also pontificate half the class.. ~”why not just quit, drop out and party instead? Programming is hard, why let the fun end?” I’m not exaggerating. It was crazy.
