Question if we're mixing up nostalgia with quality. @bettyh35, those old drawings had charm, but they also hid problems that CAD catches instantly. Digital tools save hours on revisions and let teams work together from anywhere. Calling one method 'soulless' misses how tech actually helps us build better things.

Hold on, are you suggesting that struggling with broken tools taught us more? Those fixes often wasted hours on problems that had simple solutions. I remember spending days on a task that now takes minutes. It wasn't skill, it was stubbornness. Modern methods let us focus on real learning, not just trial and error. Calling that 'real skill' ignores how much time we lost.
