Note however that the post-design prototyping stage is all done with off-the-shelf boards and similar components, there are no recommendations for developing surface mount soldering skills [1] or home semiconductor fabs[2], which are indeed cool but more in the hobby/art space. (look up 'surface mount assembly' on YT for why, e.g. Bittele) [1] https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/a-beginners-guide-to-soldering-surface-mount-components/ https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/a-beginners-guide-to...
