Letting people know you could pull this off eventually leads to the inevitable assignment in which you need to solder a dozen of NAND chips in some obscure package that nobody seems to have a stencil for :) Oh and the deadline is 24 hours away.
Also RoHS goes out of the window and you use a leaded tin which makes your life so much easier, as well as usually guarantees a longer life time for the fix because it’s far more ductile after soldering.
FYI, I also do some SMD by hand. It's not very hard with leaded paste. It's a very practical skill to have when you only use it for yourself and a few select friends (read: not colleagues!)
Half joking, if you have forgotten that you added that link here's your chance to remove it B-)
I prefer keeping a low profile. Because I like speaking my mind freely, which I might not do if my account was linked to my name.
