Hastings' genius was translating complex solid-state physics into practical, visual rules. He didn't just tell you to match transistors; he showed you why common-centroid layouts cancel linear gradients. He didn't just warn about noise; he illustrated guarding rings with clear, almost artistic cross-sections.
