Phrasal verbs can often feel weird and arbitrary.

Many of them are more or less intuitive:

  • Put down
  • Put in
  • Put on

But then there’s:

  • Put up (with)
  • Put out
  • Put off

Putting out the fire is pretty strange taken literally. Out where?

The fact that they’re the exact opposites of the above doesn’t help.

It seems to me that you’re making a strange argument throwing bugs and features into the same pot. The fact that other languages have different complexities does not make one language more or less broken.

While 60/40 is a joy to work with, I gave SAC305 a shot and it's been totally fine for my uses with hobby electronic projects. You need to run your soldering iron hotter so it'll be rougher on your iron's tips, but I haven't noticed much difference in ware, etc.

As a hobbyist, contributing to junk with lead in the world is something that's been bugging me for some time. Additionally, it feels silly but there's also a certain relief in not having to worry as much about contamination between my workbench and the rest of my environment.

If you haven't already I'd also suggest getting some good flux. The Amtech NC-559-ASM has been working great for me.
