Comment on How I leared what a decoupling capacitor is for, the hard wayparent

I have an MSEE from a top university (from 20 years ago), this topic unfortunately is not really taught. The theory and analysis is taught, but the practical implications were not. I connected the dots in my first job out of school where some very talented gray beards taught me how the real world works. Which brings me to my point that EE really is a trade. It takes schooling at the beginning and in most cases a degree or two, but there is critical knowledge that you learn in the real world after school; and there are levels analogous to apprentice, journey man, and master.
