I hand draw lines in CAD for design. What crazily outdated stuff do you do for work that seems hilarious ? (sh.itjust.works)

I've always thought this method was hilarious, but it's a very specific type of work that requires it. There's not much automation to be done since it's different every time. I also had a previous job where some days you'd have to count product in boxes all day long, and hand write the numbers (this was about 3 years ago).

What outdated things at your work do you find amusing?

Not sure if it's outdated, but in a time where everyone seem to be running nginx combined with a language that sounds like the name of a Pokémon, I'm over here writing stuff in mod_perl for apache.

On that note, my LAMP probably means something different than your LAMP: Linux, apache, mod_perl, postgresql.

Mod_perl. Now there is a name I haven't heard in a long time. My paralysis demon appreciates your triggering my PTSD.

Well, with such a good start I might as well feed your paralysis demon with....
