Schematics vs. Layouts

[frequencycentral]

Schematics. But if you publish a new schematic without an accompanying verified layout (and voltages) you are dooming yourself to others' endless debugging questions. 

I can't think how all this layout nonsense started - there were none when I started, so I learned to build from the circuit to veroboard. Perhaps it's typical of the computer generation to require everything handed to them on a plate

Me too. Schematics were photocopies of photocopies of photocopies. As for layout creator software......... when I was a lad I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah." But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe you.

Schematics.  Can't get an understanding of circuit function from a layout.  Can't help someone with debug questions from a layout.  I'll take the schema before the layout any day.

That said, if the circuit it critical (like an LFO near the signal path, where layout can be critical), having both might be beneficial...
