We do zero prototyping like this anymore. Actually, we almost never carved copper plates anyway, we would just get perf boards with plated holes and wire everything together.
Everything gets a pc board made now. If you can't buy a dev board from the mfg or a 3rd party, then you make your own.
Surface mount mostly killed it off. But I don't miss spending hours looking for a problem that turns out to be just some breadboard issue that broke when you jiggled it wrong.
