Hit 20 years in the trade this month... didn't see that coming

I was just counting up jobs in my old notebook from 2004 and realized I've been framing houses for two decades now. Started as a 19 year old kid hauling lumber for a crew in Boise and never really stopped. Has anyone else had a milestone like that sneak up on them?

Did engineered lumber actually make roofs easier or just add more complex math to the job?

20 years goes by fast when you're busy on a site every day. What's the one thing you've noticed change the most about the framing trade since you started? Pneumatic nailers were big back then but I wonder if you've seen more prefab components or the shift to engineered lumber take over.
