I was thinking of something similar to have my high school students write final exams on where there is no connectivity yet they can type instead of providing results in unrecognizable handwriting I then have to try to decode with the clock running towards marking being due. Congrats on a great design!

Really on the spot! I feel that way every time I’m doing something and even when I’m not doing anything as well!

“instead, you’re debugging. you’re feature chasing. even while you write, you’re dreaming about debugging and feature chasing” – do some people not do this with every single thing in their lives? This is a large part of why I’m a hacker!

You'd end up with a lot of difficulty discerning when two keys are pressed. For some combinations maybe that could be beneficial, but if you're pressing 'a' and 'b' you probably don't really want a 'c' to appear.]]> In reply to .

People have been doing similar things with hacked up keyboard chips/boards in the Mame cabinet community for _decades_.

You might look there to avoid reinvention.

Motivation.

A big angry dude telling you ‘write something by tomorrow, or I’ll kick you in the balls again.’ will get anybody generating LOC. Smart teams don’t want that code. Fire coders you have to kick anywhere to get work out of.

This device lacks a semicolon! You can’t code on that.
