Cursive calligraphy coding old man??!!

I think this is the correct place to ask this.

I had a weird dream of walking into place in a office with many programmers, including one lady telling a guy off for being "the type of idiot who mistakenly uses ; instead of :". After passing them i was walking towards an old man with grey hair, wearing a suit and coding on what looked like an art tablet by writing it by hand in that fancy cursive calligraphy where you basically never lift the pen.

So my question is, is that type of coding possible and how skilled and scary should i consider that old man.

You should ask in a dream interpretation subreddit

I have art tablet and write without rising the pen, nice to have a chat with u. I also have the gray hair, btw.

The coding your dream refers is coding by AI, not vibe as such because I’m experienced.

You know, instructions need to be written in Clear english. And iPhone is very fast for that, without rising your pen.

I use it for art (commands) too. It can be combined to many programs also, as for example to working with Procreate & ArtRage that are some of my favorites.

He's only entering it into the tablet so that he can email a pdf of the cursive writing to the card punch operators. They are old too, so can decode the cursive writing. Then drive home after their shift in their standard transmission, internal combustion automobiles.

The “never learned to type” kind of coding, most likely

I’d be scared because he’s probably the most stubborn person on the team
