SMD clearly isn't enough. We need to find a way to make it even harder to solder circuit boards.

My idea? Buried ICs. We integrate when we make the PCB layers so we can cut out an entirely enclosed space which we put in a special double sided (top and bottom!) ball grid array IC!

You won't be able to make one of these fuckers without at least 200,000$ in tools, and we're switching everything to them starting immediately because they're 0.0003 cents cheaper per unit
