Indeed. That comment was a likely a reference to my prototyping platform I sell now and then. It is a plastic array of holes on a 0.5" pitch, and a set of custom PCBs with common functions, adaptors for stuff like Arduinos and PIs. The idea is to deliver something hackable and easy to understand to my innovation customers who ask for this. I often get asked to build a system with off-the-shelf bits, on a fast turnaround, so it can be handed to a junior industrial designer who can fiddle with the concept until they have enough information to write me a proper requirements spec for a custom PCB.
Then I make a pre-production final-form prototype that will work, with cost optimisation.
Prototyping means different things to different people, but the customer is always right, and mine are always delighted with the results.
Crazy-proto is not a product, is open source and was just for fun, after I went off on a tangent when thinking about making a little SOT-23 PCB I needed.
And yeah, I know the parasitics are dreadful - so what?
Don't take it too seriously guys!
