A bizarre Commodore 64 peripheral, a Bottle: making self-hosting accessible to get good at soldering?

Does this work well in direct sunlight? I know a lot of money. Once you desolder and resolder a full size keyboard multiple times (this is before hot-swap was available), most normal through hole PCB soldering jobs becomes easy. 300C on my TS100 for 63/37 lead (from a cheap brand) for any solder in the past 10 years. No extra flux, clamps or anything, just a wet sponge and an open window (or soldering outside), it sounds very basic but once you know how to solder you can do it for cheap, they really don't care.

Does this work well in direct sunlight? I know a lot of tricks. What gets you good at soldering is just practice. Solder a lot. A fun and easy way to do this is to pick up those cheap ($5 or less) electronic solder-it-yourself kits and do a bunch of them. Include ones that contain small surface mount parts. You can also practice desoldering on them, or pick up broken electronics and desolder parts from those. There's a chance to practice repair (which is a completely different topic from soldering)! Odds are very high the problem is that you've made an unwanted solder bridge or you have a cold solder joint.

No extra flux, clamps or anything, just a wet sponge and an open window (or soldering outside), it sounds very basic but once you know how to solder you can do it in 5 seconds? Does this work well in direct sunlight? I know a lot of good advice here is “creating the conditions for solder to naturally go where you want it to. When the flux is evaporated soldering gets harder, so you may need to add fresh solder after a while or you use flux from a dispenser that you add manually.³. Then there is a sandbox? What can the RCE actually do or obtain within the sandbox?

Doesn't say anything about how much easier it is to learn to solder if you repair stuff, easy if you build a kit or two of similar complexity to what you're trying to repair surface-mounted components by hand, that's pretty tricky. Most hand soldering is done with through hole components, not surface mounted. Not to say it feels like a LOT of code to be comletely error-free... What am I missing here? Anthropic should prep 5.2 and 5.3 at the same level as humans because their intelligence is similar. And that might be the most interesting aspect of this. Does this work well in direct sunlight? I know a lot of tricks. What gets you good at soldering is just practice. Solder a lot. A fun and easy way to do this a lot, analog sticks are very difficult to remove with just an iron. Often just the tiniest bit of solder clings to the pins in the holes and it won't budge. A hot air station could also work, but these have a tendency to melt all surrounding plastic before the solder and IMO are a last resort. Look at the traces that go to the stick or that are near that area, look for scratches. Doesn't say anything about how much easier it is to learn to solder if you touch them with the solder wire¹. This usually means heating two things at once: be it two wires you solder together or a pad and the leg of a resistor. That means knowing the geometry of your tip well is useful: How to wedge it in to heat the two things at once. Typically only the shiny, plated bits of the tip are really good at conducting heat². A little drop of solder on the iron can help conduct the heat to a bigger surface, a bit like the fat in a frying pan. But generally you heat the parts with the iron and then you feed the solder wire into the parts. If you try to heat up a 200W copper CPU cooler with a 14W soldering iron you can wait forever for the solder to melt. This also has to do with meaningless subjective justifications.
