Hit 500 board repairs last month and it got me thinking about quality vs speed

I logged my 500th repair in my shop in Omaha and it made me wonder if I should slow down to be more thorough or keep cranking them out. The push to hit that number made me miss a cold solder joint on a power supply last week. Do you guys track your repair counts and does it change how you work?

Disagree, sometimes speed teaches you to find problems faster.

Ugh, that cold solder miss hits home. Quality over quantity every time.

That cold solder thing reminds me of the time I fixed my toaster with a paperclip.
