Yeah, he's doing calligraphy (either Spencerian script or Copperplate, maybe?) for coding, which is absolutely not a good hand for it. I mean, I personally take notes in cursive, but they're typically prosaic (e.g. "Fix the VPN", "Ask Steve about those CSS changes", etc).
I know this was a joke, but do you by any chance know any shorthand? I tried to teach myself Gregg here and there years ago, but it requires more dedication than I was willing to put in to become fluent.
Gregg is not the way to go if you're looking for a shorthand
that captures text in the way you would need for programming or science and I don't know of a good shorthand for this [if it wasn't already APL.]
Gregg is very much a "visible" sound system from a time when people just needed to capture the conversations and later expand back into text with the aid of a secretary. That is, if you didn't mutate your shorthand for your own purposes.
That being said, Aaron Hsu's handwriting is beautiful, but not my cup of tea for thinking on paper--my initial reaction to his scanned pages was unpleasant because it wasn't what I was used to from my own hands.
I know teeline. But programming in it seems pretty silly since half the time you are only differentiating the meaning of words using sentence context. I do like the idea of using it for maybe some very basic terms in psuedocode though (if, for, define, class, etc)
