I did one of these threads several months ago, when the site was new, and thought now was a good time to do another.

    Do you have experience with hardware? I tried soldering for the first time not too long ago, but it was a kit, so I wasn't doing any of the decision making. What kinda projects would you recommend? Also, I'd love to build a PC someday, but it will be quite a while until I have the money; I program professionally and want to start getting into more computationally expensive problems, so I feel like I need to save for a good one.

      Not really much experience with electronics/soldering, aside from like watching Ben Eater, sorry. Have a friend I could bug, but that's all.

      Someone else DM'd me for tips on PC building, and I could paste my response here if that'd be useful.
