Insect cruelty. Plus you have to count their tiny feets backwards.

 
The only good bugs is dead bugs. ;)

The major flaw with dead bugs is you lose the identification of the ic.

 

Six months later, you will have no idea what the circuit is, where the
important signals are, or how the circuit works.

 
Nah. I build them inside the lid of a cast aluminum stomp box, and put a
paper schematic inside.  No worries.

 
Where do you document the results?
 
 

Depends. If it’s a small test instrument, usually in my lab book.  If it’s
for a product or an experiment, I mostly use Markdown files in the
corresponding git repository.

We keep private repos on github and gitlab, as well as bare repos on
various computers and NAS boxes in different locations.
