Hardware makers: What's your worst "I can't believe I missed that" PCB moment?
by•
Building hardware is brutal. One tiny mistake and you've got an expensive paperweight.
I once ordered 50 boards with a wrong footprint. $600 gone. Three weeks wasted. That sick feeling when you power it up and nothing happens.
Would love to hear from other hardware folks here:
What's your worst PCB disaster story? Wrong footprint? Missed connection? Magic smoke?
(Working on something to help with this—launching today actually—but genuinely curious about your experiences!)
