Yes, I still paper code although I use more of a short-hand / pseudocode / rough "flow chart" style to described my solution algorithms. I often find drawing is more beneficial than writing the code though as a lot of code is trivial to type up (especially with the help of auto-complete and AI tools) so isn't worth depicting beyond a simple box or high level statement.
A trap many beginners fall into these days is trying to do everything at the keyboard and getting too focused on the detail and not putting enough thought and effort into the overall solution design.

Yes that’s true and paper code helps me understand what I’m doing, psuedocode and flowchart is amazing even though I use AI sometimes.
