Rant: My CAD shortcut debate turned a family dinner super awkward

Ngl, I full-on argued with my uncle about keyboard commands while the turkey got cold.

My cousin Mike is a graphic designer, and we once had a full blown fight about Photoshop shortcuts during Christmas dinner. It's weird how these super specific work habits become part of our identity. You get so used to your own way of doing things that any challenge feels personal. Now I see it everywhere, people arguing about phone brands or coffee makers like it's a moral issue. It turns normal talks into these weird standoffs for no real reason.

Keyboard shortcuts turn into holy wars, @kevin_singh32.

Man, that Christmas dinner story hits home. So when you see it happen with phones or coffee makers, do you think people are actually mad about the product, or just defending the time they've already sunk into learning their way? Like is it really about the tool, or more about not wanting to feel like they made a "wrong" choice?
