Random convo with a new guy made me rethink my drafting setup

I was showing a fresh apprentice how I do detail callouts in AutoCAD last Wednesday, and he asked why I still use a 2008 template with 50 layers. He said "why not just use fewer layers like the new teams do" and it hit me that I've been clinging to old habits for no good reason. Any of you guys made big changes after someone smaller called you out on your process?

That's rough buddy... a rookie making you question your whole setup like that." "Guess you gotta admit sometimes the new guys have a point though... even if it hurts a little.

Ha, tell me about it. Here I am with my souped up rig and the kid's stock setup nearly matches my frames per second. Guess pride's a funny thing when a $400 laptop starts nipping at the heels of a $2,000 build. Makes you wonder if we're all just paying for fancy lights and cables in the end, right?
