My dad got me a nice soldering iron for Christmas, and I think I did a better job soldering the headers on my second raspberry pi Pico w.

Also 2 cool things here:

  1. The Pico's pinout very nicely has the reset pin and ground pin separated by one pin, which lets you easily add one of these little buttons to make a reset button (pull reset pin to ground). I swear someone must have done this deliberately, and I want them to know I appreciate that.
  2. These normal breadboards have a little gap here where I can tuck in the unused leads from this pin so I don't have to bend them out of the way. It also holds the button in position better. I can't tell if that was deliberate, but I also appreciate that.
