Remember when everyone was pushing cloud-based CAD? I thought it was just a fad.

I held onto my local workstation for years, convinced it was faster. Then a project in Phoenix forced me to try a cloud platform because the files were huge... and the real-time collaboration actually saved us a week. Anyone else have a tool they were wrong about?

Tbh, it was never about speed.

Felt the same about version control. Watching my team edit the same file without overwriting each other was a game changer.

A blog post I read made a good point about this. It said version control is less about the tech and more about changing how a team works together. You stop being scared to change things because you can always go back. That safety net lets people try new ideas without messing up the main project. It turns editing from a risky solo job into a shared process. That shift in mindset is what really makes the difference.
