DESCRIPTION:To build or not to build? Well\, after the first time you make 
 an LED go blink\, that isn’t even a question. Things escalate exponentia
 lly after that first hardware success. It took me 6 months from the first 
 time I really dove into a kit from HackerBoxes.com\, fumbling the entire w
 ay\, to creating my first ever badge for the 10 year anniversary for my Wh
 ose Slide Is It Anyway contest at DEF CON 34. \n\nThis talk begins at the 
 beginning\, from re-learning how to solder a single pin\, to staring at a 
 KiCad screen questioning any positive thing my mother ever told people abo
 ut me. I will lay bare every failure that led to every success in the goal
  of putting some bling around the necks of our contestants. \n\nUltimately
 \, this is a talk about community. No amount of Google searches\, no stack
  of datasheets\, nor any number of AI prompts can match the criticality of
  being able to lean on a community of makers all hell bent on conquering c
 ode and electricity. To get from prototype to PCB\, it truly takes a hardw
 are village.
