> Ehh, more than 90% of my time making a board is in reading data sheets & Application notes, making a schematic, component selection, component library building, and part placement. With 80% of my time being just the data sheets, application notes, and component selection. It's really remarkable just how little time I put into the actual mechanics of building a PCB vs. everything prior to that.
