content: Yeah, that looks very fragile, Psi. Looks more like a sort of "freeform circuit art" than a prototyping method.I'm ahugefan of dead bug prototypes. Show me another way that minimizes parasitics as easily without etching a PCB. I do them just like the photos in Linear AN47 (Jim Williams), with connectors soldered right to the board and such.

content: Manhattan/deadbug/airwire style has one disadvantage: when you glue the IC upside down, you cannot see the orientation marksI also had quite large number of "Bzzzzt... Fook, datasheet pinout diagram is from top view, not bottom" moments.
