Tried a fancy digital level on a rail install in Dallas yesterday - old school bubble level was way faster

That digital one kept glitching every time I bumped it, took 3 tries just to get one section straight. Anyone else stick with the basics for precision work or am I just being stubborn?

Three tries for one section? That's bonkers, my digital one acted like it had a mind of its own after a single jolt. Honestly, I'd rather trust a bubble I can see wiggle than a screen that blanks out on me. Stubborn? Nah, you're just smart enough to know fast and reliable beats fancy every time.

Wait, is it really that deep though? I mean yeah, glitching on a bump sounds annoying, but isn't the whole point of digital stuff that it's more accurate in the end? You got it straight with the bubble after extra tries, so maybe the fancy tool just needed a reset. Seems like folks are acting like a minor hiccup is the end of the world when really it's just a tool with its own quirks. My dad uses a digital one on his DIY projects and says you just gotta learn its rhythm before it's smooth sailing.
