If you know what you are doing and are fast, that's going to go just fine. If you're going to linger on delicate components, not so much. There is a bit of personal taste to this, and there's no doubt that the designated temperature is going to be the safe bet, but skilled people can bend the rules pretty much and still produce similar results. Especially in things like point-to-point wiring.
Shock:
It's only a small tip, she probably has to crank it when desoldering wires from the chassis. Towards the end of the video it looks lower anyway.
strawberry:
solder gets dull and flux is evaporating at first touch.
faster soldering iron wearout
if component lead knot not want to giveup then crank up temperature, it is some psychological emotional stuff I dont believe
better suck solder off then untangle using sharp pliers
floobydust:
I looked and her soldering style/technique is to be quick, she's fast. So the iron needs to be quite hot for that, with large through-hole parts.
I've found that works fine, contact time is brief, but it does oxidize the tip faster and wreck (melt/overheat) things if you ever need to stay on the joint for more than a few seconds.
Everyone has their own style. I teach noob engineers to use a lower iron temp and simply wait a couple seconds for the joint to melt. Some of them have no patience though.
You can always do something better, find faults in others. I don't see how criticizing the repair video is constructive :-//
