Back in the day, even in this century, printing out code in good text formatting on plain paper's not a bad way to work with some problems; you can spread out many pages on a table instead of one screenful at a time, make planned edits in paper or pen, then do them. It doesn't suit half-assed "coding" by hitting code completion and "next" in a wizard, but some of us still remember how to program.

But then marketing hears about this and this meme is the best they can come up with.

I suspect it's like Nigerian scammers being blatant about how dumb their scam is, to weed out the smart targets. "simplilearn" is obviously not for people who read manuals, you know?
