Yes, it's amazing. You often don't even need to have a PCB made much either because there are tons of modules for all common hobbyist circuits available very cheap, cheaper than the individual parts! I'm building a robot with a Raspberry Pi, a MOSFET module, a camera module, an LED module, a power supply module, a current regulator module, a motor driver module, and audio amplifier module, an Arduino module, etc. Not a single perf board or custom PCB required.

Other important equipment like PC-connected oscilloscopes and lab power supplies are super cheap now too.

You might have missed an opportunity in the 1990's to make your own boards by drawing with an etch-resist pen. I was making boards like that using money from my paper run.

Maybe we need a new national anthem "Praise God for the rise of China" ;)
