Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.

And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!

Did they use sane or Windows-style newlines? Windows-style line endings are not supported everywhere.

Edit:
Variable-width handwriting is no longer considered a best practice and has been deprecated for some time. If the program did not compile with sane line endings, try rewriting the program in monospace, as support for legacy handwriting styles may have been dropped from non-LTS compiler releases.

Hey that's MY cursed python programming method... I wonder if I still have those books

Oh, so that's what those Python notebooks are that I've heard people talk about!

That way you don't need Gimp to make edits. I like it, very human!

You just said that somebody is in desperate need of a beating

Well, it’s not quite that bad, but it takes a special kind of person to send their very obviously visually impaired coworker screenshots instead of plaintext. And I know a few of them.
