Juxtaposed with the modern RasPi and Arduino, is bits of old-school: generic breadboard, through-the-hole soldering of rows of resistors, socketed DIPs...

It's great that random hobbyists can send out to have a one-off fabrication of a slick PCB. But it's also nice when we can DIY more things.

I really like simple strip boards, as it allows me to make modifications after the fact. And I don't have the patience to wait for PCBs to arrive from China :p
