I'd love to see some practical tests done. Like just layout a microcontroller PCB and use different decoupling caps and see how that affects things like max working SPI frequency or something.

This was really well written. As someone who isn’t an electrical engineer but dabbles in making PCBs, I learned a lot.

But most importantly, as the author ends, I will probably continue lowering my mental overhead and put in 1uF or 2.2uF capacitors as my decoupling caps from now

Important subject, but impossible to read on a phone due to animated ads for every second paragraph
