Heard a new guy on the crew say 'I just run the cable, the app does the rest' and it hit me how much the job's changed.

My first job in 2005 was pulling cable and manually punching down every port on a 66-block. You had to know the color code by heart. Now the new techs just plug in a pre-terminated end and wait for the dashboard to turn green. The craft feels like it's turning into just following blinking lights.

It's like we traded real skill for just watching lights. What happens when the dashboard doesn't tell them what's wrong?
