  1. The temperature matters a lot. As Paul said, he runs those hot and that makes the tip lifetime a lot smaller. Running them hot allows you to work faster, though so it's a tradeoff and you have to adjust according to your hourly pay. If you do it as a hobby, keeping the temperature as low as possible will increase lifetime of your equipment.

  2. Interesting, Louis looks somewhat pale and speaks only about technical parts with zero politics in this video.

  3. 27:30 I think it would have been nice to show one of those tiny but really important parts under the microscope with a finger or a ballpen tip next to it to make it obvious how small parts we're actually talking here. I remember looking at smartphone motherboard in person after seeing it just on a video and I was really surprised how tiny those resistors actually are.
