I'd argue it's even more valuable to learn to code without paper. Many of us formed habits of thinking with paper in school and freeze up a bit in front of the screen. I think it's better to work to eliminate that freezing up than to accommodate it.

I understand using paper for Diagrams and arquitechtual design, but for coding?

On college I remember having to code on paper and you simply can't test your code for typos or small error, even if your logic was perfect professor give you marks for a missing ';'

note: the class was evaluating the Logic / algorihtm not basic code syntax
