As a novice at soldering, I now have an opinion about single-sided vs. double-sided breadboards (lemmy.world)

Me a few days ago, shopping on Amazon: "All the component and jumper wire leads are going to be on the bottom anyway; why shouldn't I get a pack of single-sided breadboards for $6.25 instead of double-sided ones for $10?"

Me today, after having lifted three pads off the damn board in 10 minutes: "Oh, that's why."

Get the double-sided breadboards; they're worth it.

Yeah I've only seen lifted pads when I'm desoldering a huge component, or on the absolute cheapest board. I find that the white boards and orange boards always suck
