Back in 2015, I had to pick between learning manual drafting or going all in on CAD

I chose to focus on AutoCAD, and honestly, I'm glad I did, but I still keep my old drafting table for sketching ideas. Anyone else feel like they lost a bit of the craft when they switched to full digital?

That "lost a bit of the craft" feeling is everywhere now, from writing by hand to fixing your own stuff.

Read somewhere that hand-writing notes helps you remember stuff better. @nathan_smith might be onto something though.

Hey @harperp24, what's the last thing you actually fixed yourself?

Oh man, that's the truth. My last DIY project was staring at a wobbly chair and then just buying a new one. We've all gotten too used to just replacing things instead of figuring them out.
