I'm deeply ashamed to admit that I use stripboard - the kind of thing that
AoE would call "strictly bush-league" (whatever that means).

Whereas I used to use an acre of stripboard and work it out as I went along, I
now use a combination of TinyCAD for the schematic and then I import the
netlist into VCAD which is a stripboard layout aid. There I a can mess about to
my heart's content, shoehorning circuits into a tiny area - and they work 1st
time too!

eagle takes about a day to "not suck" at it
you probably wont do everything right but eh close enough

one off projects I make I wire up on "strip board"? and solder.
thing to watch on that is to make sure you have all the tracks cut you are
meant to
I place all the chips solder them in then mark the track cuts with a marker
(remember you must cut the tracks down the centre of the IC, *that's* why
its getting warm ;->, and that 20V bridge way off to the other side with the
tracks running to your MSSP serial input pin wont help either)
then wire it up and cut the tracks (adding cut track marks as I wire)
projects wired up that way have flown in many of my hobby scale rockets (up
to H class) and in 100G acceleration sounding rockets.
