#PlatformIO

Why ESP32 PlatformIO and VS Code? (Say Goodbye to Arduino IDE). The "I Built My First Robot" Moment. I still remember the first time I made an LED blink. Most beginners start with the Arduino IDE. It's simple. It works. But it has limits

The two ESP32s talked to each other through solid concrete walls using nothing but radio waves. This is LoRa module. And it's magical.

No syntax highlighting that actually helps. No autocomplete. No Git. No snippets. No Copilot (I love it). Arduino IDE vs Platformio classic battle. I looked at that blue interface and thought: "Wait... this is what robotics people use XD? Every single day?"
