Homebrew PCBs

You make 4 layer boards at home?

When I make the boards myself I spend even more time on a good layout.
After all I am the guy who doesn't have to spend time drilling all the
vias...

We don't have to agree on the issue, I understand that for some people
a PCB is just a means to connect stuff. Just don't be surprised to
meet people that very much consider PCB layout an art, or at least
something to be optimized.

A window is just to keep the cold air out, and a wall is just to
separate rooms, and yet most craftsmen include orderly implementation
and neat appearance in their definition of a job well done.
