That’s so interesting. I remember trying to copy proofs in school out by hand but it did not work for me because - I think - I didn’t engage with the material as much as I should’ve. How do you ensure that you’re not simply blindly typing the code out and actually understand what’s going on?

Well, I only do it in order to try to understand it but there is no way to make sure you are understanding. But most of the time, if I am typing it's almost automatic that I pay attention to it. Not sure if it would work for others tho.
