But also, because I hit send too early (😒), I learned my lesson with soldering: pay someone else to do it.

And so we have a new board revision. Wedding ring for scale. It tiny. 100mm x 50mm.

Anyway, jump forward two years where we're knee deep in all sorts of stressful coding projects, and I think to myself: gee, you know what I need to do this weekend? Redesign that PCB. See first tweet re: idiot and masochist.

I lost interest shortly thereafter because honestly? Hell if I knew what I was doing and also I chickened out on soldering. Meh.

I went so far as to get the pcb fabricated and after a couple iterations of that realized good god these components are tiny and soldering them is going to suck.
