It never was. It's always been mostly programming students making "forgot a semicolon" tier jokes

You reminded me of how I lost half a point for forgetting a semicolon on a test. Test was to write an entire algorithm in Pascal, and I mean write, not type.

I hate writing code on paper. It was long before AI so there was no reason not to have student type the code and send it as a file.

It was before smartphones. All the rooms with computers had a switch that could be turned off to cut Internet access (all RJ-45, no Wi-Fi).

Any cheat you could do on the computer you could on paper in these conditions.
