Have you ever seen soldering THIS close?

Japan Unix does lots of soldering videos. Up-close automated soldering with lasers and robots. I always enjoy their short videos in my feed. https://www.youtube.com/@Japanunix/videos

I think a better question is, “have you ever HAND soldered this close?”

I’ve pulled BGAs with a heat gun and attached leads to individual balls without contacting the next one(s) … which you really want to get good at because de-soldering between balls sucks !

Oh, and I don’t cheat with no magnifying glass

Northwestrepair is a great Youtube channel if you are fascinated by soldering. Watching solder flow has a certain ASMR quality.
