Very Real Tech Pics

In favor of doing it deliberately wrong is that trying to do it right, and failing, would be more embarrassing.

Yes, you are a jackass, but you're clearly trying to be one, so good job!

I mean, nobody has said anything about ESD or ventilation. There's no fume hood or equivalent nor any ESD protection. If the model had actually attempted to solder correctly, then people in the know would have attacked the picture for more substantial reasons, than the apparent ridiculousness.
