Agree that SMD hand assembly is easier than it looks, at least down to 0603 imperial. If I can wait the week for boards to arrive, I’ll often skip the breadboard step and go straight to a proto PCB, especially since most parts aren’t available in throughhole without waiting on dev boards anyway.
When you hand someone a board with 0603s on it that you hand-assembled, it seems like magic to people who stop to think about it.
- SauntSolaire 8mo agoWhen you're regularly dealing with 01005's, getting to work with an 0603 feels like a luxury.

- SauntSolaire 8mo agoYou joke, but embedded passives are a thing!
