I imagine every electrical engineer has their own list of "comfortable" parts that they use all the time

ours are like... TIP122, IRF540, (2N/MMBT)(3904/3906/2222), UJ3N120065K3S (look, SiC high-voltage JFETs are useful things, i don't care how weird or moderately-expensive they are), IXD_614, 5-1634503-1, stackpole RNF series resistors, probably a few others that don't come to mind immediately

we actually don't have any diodes on the list at the moment because the real common ones like the 1n4148 or 1n400x aren't remotely suitable for the kinds of work we do and what we would need them for

if you do any EE work, even just as a hobby, I'd like to know what yours are!

@Felthry I made a small thing once! It's a led Arduino controller that's connected to my PC and then redshift tells it what phase the sun is. It would roughly match the warmth of the led strip with my screen's

@curls that's a pretty neat little thing! I'm not sure what you're saying is one of your comfortable parts here though--the Arduino?
