This almost feels like going back to old school Autocad.

This one hits home for me.

Early on in my career, I had a "mentor" tell me to try it on my own before asking any questions only to swear under his breath when I messed up. It was a massive source of anxiety balancing between asking a question and the risk of messing up.

When working with junior engineers nowadays, I go out of my way to let them know that any question at any time is acceptable. I'll put down what I'm doing and help them through a problem and then celebrate the solution with them. I never want them to feel the fear of work and failure that I did.
