Ask HN: Would this idea get retrocomputing enthusiasts typing in programs again?

2•amichail•1d ago
What if the new Compute!’s Gazette included an AI‑powered utility that explains each line as you manually type in program listings?

To make it more effective, the utility would preload the complete program listing so it can offer context‑aware explanations for each line as you type.

Do you think this would encourage readers to manually type in program listings?

Admittedly it has been a while since I used "retro" hardware (back when it was barely out of date) ... but any time I had a program listing I could type in, it was already explained in whatever book/magazine published it
