It's because as a programmer you barely do write anything by hand any more these days. I notice it myself, I'm now faster at typing than (hand)writing, and I wrote shitloads during my times at the uni.

I do a lot of planning on my diary so I write quite a bit.

Also many programmers like working out problems on paper first before firing up the editor.

We do a lot of writing but of a different kind. We don't write essays, stories and records of historical events. But we definitely scribble a lot of symbol manipulation stuff.

Too true! If I have to write anything in cursive other than my signature(which has now become a symbol more than my name in cursive) I am completely flummoxed as to how to do it.

    my signature(which has now become a symbol more than my name in cursive)

True story- when my sister first moved to France, the first time she had to sign anything official, she was told "no, not your name, your signature". So she made up a new scribbly symbol just for that purpose.
