Office life before the invention of AutoCAD and other drafting software.

Prior to the release of AutoCAD in 1982, engineering drawings were all done by hand using different grade pencils, erasers, T-squares and set squares.

History of the evolution of tech is badass. Going to publish a read on this topic tomorrow or fri.

Totally agree, the evolution of tech is fascinating! Looking forward to your read—please share it when it's out. 🚀

O AutoCAD hoje em dia ajuda tanto, que as pessoas nem se toca.

I still have to ilread the plans these hands drafted and they sucked. can't tell the difference between a 3 5 6 or 8. what a wast of fucking time and money.

Weird how all this shit is automated now and still somehow more expensive. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Fascinating how homogeneously white and male everyone is. It’s so different to office spaces now.

My grandfather was a structural steel draftsman, he designed expansionjoints for bridge decks if i remember correctly. He tells stories of when the office got a mechanical calculator, he would input the numbers into the calculator and go back to his desk, solve the equation and go back to the machine to wait for it to finish. Then he would use it to check his work. CAD came in around the time he quit, moved states, and opened a bed and breakfast with my grandmother.

How did they do this without h1b Indians?

They didn’t. It wasn’t possible.
