@gsuberland@chaos.social I'm not an EE, I've only read some electronics magazines as a teenager, and half of these rules seem like basic common sense to me. How do people manage to not follow them?

@gsuberland@chaos.social one thing I don't like is frequent use of net labels to connect nets without drawing the connection. It's hard to follow for me when viewing someone's schematic as a PDF.

So in rule 8's example, how about putting all the pull-up resistors at the very top, above the top edge of the IC, connected with vertical lines to whatever pins they need to pull up? That's what they did in the magazines...

@wolf480pl@mstdn.io I recently had to read a schematic, I think it was the Arduino Nano, where all connections were made using net labels. That was pretty annoying to read. Hard to distinguish at first glance between connected and non connected pins, and to make sense of the whole.
