Had a chat with a retired operator at the union hall last week
Old guy named Pete told me he used to walk the boom up with just a hand signal man and a prayer, no load charts or computers, and it kinda made me wonder if we lean too hard on all this fancy tech now or if thats just how the job grows.

Old timers like Pete make it sound like a real art form.

Real art form" is right, Pete probably never had to worry about a dead battery on his tablet out on the jobsite, either.
