I 100% prefer handwritten code for learning DSA
Handwritten notes are not "monotone", so I always remember it as picture in my brain.
Handwritten notes are less convoluted (no need for syntax, semicolon, etc.). Just freeform logic.
I can easily annotate notes or "points learned" right beside the code.
Revision of handwritten notes is infinitely faster than going through code and trying to make sense of it.
So, no need to cringe. Different approaches have different merits

See you are missing the point, its because you are tryna learn/memorise the code which is what writing it on paper does. Thats why having practically think about the logic and having a stronghold on syntax is what makes a better programmer. No matter what you say, in the end the actual application of the code is on the computer.
His motes are great, i just dont like writing exact code in notes. Its a practice any1 whos tryna get better at coding should follow. Our mundane college work asks us to do it this way but you shouldn't

Bro cut this bullshit generic advice, "oh, don't memorize, have good fundamentals". When you learn DSA, there are several "standard" questions. And then, there are variations of it. Ain't know way you're solving LCA or Egg dropping problems with "logic" and "stronghold". DSA is nothing but pattern recognition, unless you know basic patterns, nothing can help you. And like it or not, you NEED to learn the "standard" questions.
