Very good for prototyping, automated wirewrapping was for some production.

The early PDP-11s had a diode matrix ROM for the
boot memory. You could
change the boot code with a wire cutter and soldering iron.
Is that similar to "wire wrap" ? I remember my grandmother talking about
having to snip wires connected to diodes. I think this was in the 50's but
it might have been the 60's, too. She mentioned something like that.
