Not even close. I hold that honor. Long ago I soldered a 25-pin RS232
cable. The blobs were so big I couldn't get the housings on. I didn't
think any of the pins were shorted, but I wasn't positive. I brought
the cable along when we visited a friend with hardware skills. While we
were talking he casually unsoldered my botched job and resoldered it
nicely. I probably never soldered again :-(
