bring back microcontrollers that support thru-hole soldering
@MightyPork @technomancy well, there's always flip-pins, so you can make carriers that fit in DIP sockets

@phooky @technomancy wow this looks cute
i use regular off-the-shelf adapters (actually off-ebay lol) with 2.54 headers, works fine too but they're bulkier
@technomancy Mandatory breakout boards!
@technomancy counterpoint: use cardboard and SMD components: https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=5259
@mechazoidal "So if you want a part that wasn’t designed by someone wearing a jean jacket and highwaters, you’re probably going to find it only available in SMT." Wow I feel so called out.
@technomancy I look forward to his Q&A at Ada's towards the end of the month to find out how he really feels
@technomancy Bring back microcontrollers which run off of, and interface with, TTL logic levels.
@technomancy pics and atmels are still made in thru hole. they're just super expensive
