I find "programming" a constant distraction from electronics in some "tutorials"

They'd use a 555 instead to flash a LED. And they were lauded as geniuses, of course.

Who uses a 555?
Self flashing LEDs have been around for decades!
I greatly prefer to use a 90v battery, a capacitor, & a resistor to flash a neon, anyway!

Your skillz will be in demand in a post apocalyptic world.
