I can assure you that even trivial programs in Fortran and Cobol could be a shoebox or more of punchcards.
Imagine someone knocking your shoebox off the table and having to sort them all by hand. Imagine that on your 3rd run, the reader eats one or more of your cards, then they all start to fail.
Programming was wonderous to be sure, but no one is worse off with an IDE and a interpreted language.
