My dad's old brake trick from the 80s still works better than what I see online

Last week I was swapping pads on my F-150 in the driveway and remembered how my old man used to rough up new pads with sandpaper before installing them. Did that to a set of cheap ceramics and they've been dead quiet for three days now compared to the last set I just slapped on. Anyone else still do old school stuff like that or am I just being stubborn?

Did you bed them in proper after sanding or just drive normal?

Didn't bed them in @gray_patel, just sent it from the jump.
