When you buy components, buy a bag of them. Good for when you let the smoke out of one, and you can have several projects on the go at a time.

Problem with doing that is sooner or later you are going to end up with piles of stuff like esp12f's and such. I have more packaging tubes of ATtiny85's than I will ever use.
When I started there was lots of smoke 😀 it's true that you can easily accumulate random stuff, but I still think it's better to have spares of the things I use than risking running out and waiting for a delivery. Maybe I'm just disorganised.
If you’ve got 25 minutes, I made this a while back https://youtu.be/Yzfk0t0HfZc
Thanks. Some good information there. I dont like throwing out components though...
