Guilty as charged, like a battery without a salt :). My mitigating circumstance is that I met Hollerith cards only as a student; I had a keyboard and a screen from day one... but still used troff/tron and such to format the output. And couple of times I had to punch the special control tape for the big 600lpm printer, which was the way to have custom formatted paper on it. Actually, to let the printer know how many lines per page, how much of margin top and bottom etc.

Missing from the list (probably because it came a bit later and wasn't strictly programming):

- coding reports for ESC/P printing sequences, and then for other printers
- coding forms using terminal's escape sequences
- coding the same scripts over and over for each new modem-to-modem communication package; coding Hayes sequences despite whatever wrappers these were supposed to provide
- manually coding PostScript
