PSA: A client told me my solder joints looked like 'cold oatmeal' last month
I switched to a higher temp and thinner gauge wire, and my connections are way cleaner now. Anyone else get a piece of feedback that made you change a basic habit?

Ouch, that's a harsh but super clear way to put it. Glad you found a fix that worked. I got told my early work looked like a "spider took a nap" on the board, which stung but made me slow down and check my iron temp. Sometimes that blunt feedback is what actually sticks.

Totally agree, @jason112, my first solder joints looked like a silver slug trail.

What temp were you running? Those old burns are just proof you learned.
