I die a little inside every time I see a 741 being used in a circuit created in the last 10 years. I'd say last 20 years, but then I'd be really dead by now!

- exmadscientist 6mo agoThey're cheap. They're really, really, really cheap. I once tried to design out a quad 741 a colleague had put in, because I didn't like seeing a 741-type in a modern design. I ended up with the exact same ultimate performance and a higher cost and supply chain risk. I don't laugh at 741s anymore. (At least, not until I've looked at the rest of the schematic.)
