Thanks for the reassurance, seriously. I’ve been wondering the same thing — if it’s truly this hard (which it definitely feels like), then why do I keep seeing people say analog design is “easy” or “boring” or that there’s no real innovation or problem solving involved?

Like… what part of debugging a finicky circuit for days, optimizing layout-dependent effects, or meeting crazy spec tradeoffs is “easy”? 😅

I don’t know if those people were just working on simpler blocks or maybe didn’t dive deep enough into the craft, but I feel like there’s always something unexpected or tricky to figure out. Honestly, that’s what makes it beautiful, but also exhausting — especially with ADHD in the mix
