That’s good advice. I would add that it’s wise to visually inspect your brand new bare PCBs for obvious defects and use an ohmmeter to check for shorts in any of the power supply busses. Shorted power supplies on a completed board are tough to debug. Also using IC sockets on the first board of a new design can make debugging it a lot easier.
I avoid using an ohmmeter on a completed circuit because the results can be different depending on the ohmmeter and setting used. A diode/short test setting may show a short or low resistance at the power supply, while a high resistance setting may show a high resistance.
