What difference does it make if they heard of it, or how rare displays are vs pen/paper coding? I imagine most everyone at this point has heard of e-paper and e-ink displays, but the author clearly dropped the "e" to make it sound more intriguing.
Would you be asking the same question for a post titled "Drawing with Ink", but it linked you to a page about drawing with an e-ink display? Of course not. It's misleading.

If it said "coding with ink", yes, I think I just might.
Try not to be so triggered. I don't think the author actually was trying to mislead. Of what use would that be? To their non-monetized blog? They're just sharing their happy moment with a "look it's like paper!" kind of vibe.

You'd be surprised. A few years ago, I asked about an eink reader / ebook reader at an electronics store and they didn't know what that was. Think I had to explain it to them as a tablet for reading books, but with a special display.
Not normally do I like telling others how to feel or behave, and as I was reacting to this comment I recalled the written-by-ai fireworks I see going off in comments all over hn. I will try not to react here either. Haha
"on paper" means with actual paper. Using the term to refer to an electronic display is incorrect usage, regardless of whether the intent was to deceive or not.
Locally, by both sitting on the same computer. Remotely, you can use tmux and attach to the same session, but more generally you submit a PR/MR and have discussions linked to particular lines. You can also have code in discussions on issues. Whiteboards can be used, but typically for diagrams, lists, etc., not code. Coding while on the projector during a meeting is another option.
Thank you so much for misleading me to click your link.
