Those of you who design electronics professionally or as a hobby: how do you spot errors?
In a professional setting, is there something akin to code review in software, or design critique? Do you have checklists?
I tend to spot things if I let a design sit for a few days after drawing in KiCad but before ordering a board. But it's very luck-based and I wish there was a better way.
