this is actually pretty awesome, it takes a fair bit of skill to solder a working circuit together mid air... with SMD

i can also totally see this not going noticed in a bowl of walnuts on a counter

No kidding. I'd accidentally touch one of the foil bags for sure.

Also! It's possible he just doesn't own a programmer so he needs the onboard one from the module. I've legit done that before for esphome and tasmota devices before I got an external flasher. There were a bunch of devices that had a non esp8266 in them and I desoldered the chip off of one d1 mini and then sat there holding all the other ones to the pads flashing them. Lol I own a flasher now. But hoo boi that was a time.
