A rainy day on site got me missing paper schedules.

Digital tools make us lose touch with the actual build.

I always mocked the old paper guys, but after hearing about @the_anna's drowned tablet, I kind of get it now.

Noticed this with everything going cloud-based lately.

On the Hudson project last month, I saw a guy drop his tablet in a puddle. He lost all his updates for the week. With paper, you can at least dry it out and still read pencil marks. Digital plans don't let you feel the weight of the build. You just swipe and zoom, and it feels separate from the real work. Tbh, I get why you miss the old way.
