How timely! I just learned how to use a slide rule yesterday. Looking to pick one up, and a bit overwhelmed by the plethora of choices, I went down a small rabbit hole[0]. Some slide rules produced are pure works of art!
Lately, I've been rediscovering the surprising niceties that analog tools can provide over our everything-is-a-panel-of-glass interfaces these days. Recently, I have been enjoying pen and paper as my editor for initial drafts of projects I'm coding.
Does HN have love for any analog tools in particular?
