Hot take: I spent 3 years printing drawings at 1:1 scale before someone pointed out I could just use a scale ruler
Last Tuesday a senior drafter walked by my desk, saw me hunched over a plotter feeding out a full set of floor plans, and just goes 'why are you printing that at full size when you can read it off the screen?' Felt like a total idiot lol. I had this whole system of taping prints together to check clearances and everything. Now I just zoom in on my monitor and use the measure tool. Has anyone else realized way too late that they were making the job harder for zero reason?

Has @the_cameron met my friend who printed every email for 5 years?

Honestly I feel like this is just life in general. You spend forever doing something the hard way because nobody told you there's a shortcut, then you find out and feel like you wasted years of your time. Happens with everything from cooking to driving to using software.
