I really got into building simple hardware while in college. For me it was about the physical aspect of it. Building software is amazing as the barrier is very low and you can iterate and experiment so fast. But 99% of software I've built exists only as 1s and 0s on a hard drive somewhere. There's something great about physically holding something you've built. I mainly built midi controllers for friends and other weird i/o devices, But the fact that (maybe) they are sitting somewhere collecting dust brings me joy.
