Then came the 0402 components and hand soldering became a black magic art. Took a tour of an assembly house about a year ago, and their pick and place machines were just mesmerizing to watch.
I watched the #2 video where they soldered the wire to the PCB turret. If I would have taken the finished product from that video to the instructor my Electronics Technician Maintenance School class, I would have gotten chewed out for excessive solder. The nuclear navy was not kidding around when it came to maintenance and repair of nuclear instrumentation and control equipment.
