Don't burn your finger!
These days I almost always have a FLIR camera pointed at any new design I am working on. All it takes is getting burned (literally) once.

Keeping with the "unconventional" theme, lips are more sensitive to temperature than fingers, but make sure you don't burn your fingers before you try kissing the chip. With practice, your lips can tell which 0402 passive is getting hotter than others. Or you can buy a thermal camera.
