I find everything these days to be leaning towards the "any time, anywhere" coding philosophy.
All my best profanity was learned in CS courses where you spend the entire length of the course in front of a computer but your final exam is something complex on a piece of paper.
I recently went job hunting, and all the positions I interviewed for tested me formally in some fashion or another. In fact, the only place I can think of that is still safe from "immediate coding" is the cubicle. I have found that despite the changes I have witnessed, my friends and I still have the ability to say "Let me get back to you", and actually come up with a decent design.
But, I will bet you a nickel that won't last long. As visual programming becomes more popular I think the focus will turn to cutting down design time by creating more advanced design wizards.
