All, I am new to Carpentry community so please bear with me if this is a stupid question, or not related to Carpentry. I have been facilitating people on my campus to use HPC and research computing resources in general. One thing I see with many folks learning new computing stuff is that they are lazy at typing even simple commands. Instead, they rely on cut and paste operation. I believe there is something done on your brain if you actually type or write things down, instead of merely staring at words and do “passive” copy-and-paste operation. I still intentionally type commands (even if they are somewhat long) just to get it written on my brain. Anyone having similar observation? If so, how will you encourage them to be “active” in typing rather than just do the most convenient thing?
