    Lots of trades are starting to use more modern equipment, to the slow embracement of older more “established” tradespeople.

    An example from a couple decades ago, when auto leveling tiling systems were coming out, more “prestigious” companies refused to use them since they think it’s cheating. It’s like a calculator, a tool to make your life easier though.

    Anyways, now you won’t catch tilesetters NOT using them.

      This was my introduction to the ‘wonders of tech.’

      With great fanfare and joyous noises, we were promised a wonderful, fully modern system that would solve a problem no one knew we had. I was a new supervisor and had to learn a system that seemed to be designed to frustrate and annoy everyone who used it.

      the tl, dr is the city wasted lots of money on a project the Mayor’s daughter was pushing.
