See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can't force people to read it in this font.
Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.
Settle down Satan.
And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!

Did they use sane or Windows-style newlines? Windows-style line endings are not supported everywhere.
Edit:
Variable-width handwriting is no longer considered a best practice and has been deprecated for some time. If the program did not compile with sane line endings, try rewriting the program in monospace, as support for legacy handwriting styles may have been dropped from non-LTS compiler releases.
all code is written down in physical loose leaf notebooks
Hey that's MY cursed python programming method... I wonder if I still have those books
Oh, so that's what those Python notebooks are that I've heard people talk about!

You just said that somebody is in desperate need of a beating
