100 years ago when I did my EE undergrad, one big project for a class was to build a very basic 8088 system that would read a boot instruction and then write/read a memory address, with verification via logic analyzer. I painstakingly assembled that thing on my breadboard and noted that it only worked one out of every 10-15 attempts. Adding some decoupling capacitors solved the problem. I wish I had a camera back then. I meticulously cut, bent, arranged, and otherwise made the thing look beautiful as part of the effort.
