Hit 500 board repairs this year and it kind of snuck up on me

I was going through my logbook for the shop here in Tucson and realized I just crossed 500 repairs for 2024. That's more than I thought I could do in a year, especially since I only work on micro soldering and console power issues. A lot of those were PS5 HDMI ports and Nintendo Switch charge ports, which used to take me forever. Has anyone else tracked their numbers and been surprised by how much you actually get done?

How many of those were your first round fixes vs needing a second look or rework? I'm curious if your success rate changed that much over the year.

Heard some devs say first round fixes went up once they started documenting their thought process more.
