Why this site exists

Most "top 10 Raspberry Pi sensors" posts are written by people who've never actually wired one up. This site is written by someone who spent years as an electronics technician — the goal is to save you from the mistakes that actually kill boards and sensors, not just repeat a spec sheet.
