I am more of a pen/paper person than computer. I had 2 ideas on how to create a bridge between laptop and pen/paper :<p>1. A software existed that could turn a picture of code into code<p>2. A software that could turn a UML diag to software classes/function/variables etc. The logic can be filled in by the dev actually implementing the feature.
Number 2 has existed for decades and it failed, or at least everywhere I’ve worked that tried it has since abandoned the concept. Have a look at IBM’s Rational Software Architect for an example.
Not for writing code, but I do enjoy pen and paper for sketching out high level designs and data flows. I’ve started writing on an A5 sized notebook too - I find the size constraints help with focused thinking.
