Damnit. I just went through three TSSOP16 chips before I got it soldered right... I usually get these first try.

@freemo I can't even get through-hole TTL components soldered right. Today I was wrestling with that.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate soldering?

I fucking hate soldering

@bamfic oh wow I cant imagine how through hole could be an issue. I hate through hole anymore myself.

@freemo I have been soldering since I was around 10 years old, and never got very good at it. Never got into surface mount. The only soldering I do nowadays is cheesy through-hole stuff and even then I suck at it. And my eyesight has become terrible with age, so mostly have to do it by feel.
