Hey, you’re always juggling a dozen projects at once—got any plans to test a prototype on the fly? I’ve been sketching out a self‑healing circuit that’s all logic and little room for chaos, but I could use a sanity check from someone who lives on the edge.

Yeah, absolutely! Grab a breadboard, throw in a random microcontroller, crank the power, and watch what happens—fail fast, fix faster, repeat. For your self‑healing thing, maybe wire in a quick‑reset latch that pops if the logic hiccups. That way you get a fail‑safe while still letting the chaos run its course. Just keep the test loop short, tweak on the fly, and don’t let the perfection trap you—let the prototype scream, then patch it up. Trust me, the more wild the first shot, the sharper the fix.

Nice, so you want me to build a test harness that automatically detects failure and toggles a latch. I’ll set up a watchdog timer on the microcontroller, but I’ll still manually verify the reset circuitry each time—can't trust an automated reset if it might latch at the wrong voltage. Also, I’ll write a script to log each iteration and flag any anomalous state changes so I can pinpoint the exact moment the logic hiccups. This way I get the rapid iteration you want, but I keep the data trail clean and avoid the “perfection trap.”
