Me a few days ago, shopping on Amazon: “All the component and jumper wire leads are going to be on the bottom anyway; why shouldn’t I get a pack of single-sided breadboards for $6.25 instead of double-sided ones for $10?”
Me today, after having lifted three pads off the damn board in 10 minutes: “Oh, that’s why.”
Get the double-sided breadboards; they’re worth it.
They’re pretty much the same as a solderless breadboard, in that they have dedicated power/signal rails and multiple rows/groups of bridged pads. They are usually used for a working prototype, as opposed the solderless ones used for initial circuit design/debug on a benchtop.
Here’s a general design with dedicated in/output pads.
