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

I have 7 engineers now, and we've structured the prototyping and
subsequent learning to encourage knowledge and experience sharing.

Our material control system tries to do that too. Every part in stock
has an optional PDATA folder with data sheets, test data, notes,
warnings.
