>>12188143>Well that's because analog electronics is way cooler.Analog electronics are shit, it's a mess. Your designs will always be fucked with by a billion random side effects like noise and temperature and manufacturing/batch quality etc. No matter how tightly you follow the equations and how well you simulate it there will always be an element of randomness out of your control. And there is no such thing as a perfect design, like an op-amp with infinite amplification. It's not about whether your design works perfectly, but merely how close it is. So your work will always have a sense of not being perfect, either, which affects satisfaction even if it's not your fault.
Digital electronics is much more clean and neat. As long as your basic gate building blocks are reliable, the behavior of your design is deterministic. The only hard part is the timings, but within normal ranges of operation they are well understood so your computer will let you know if it's broken or not before it's fabbed. The only factor on whether your design works or not is you. And works means works perfectly. Therefore it is more satisfying when it does.
