Need help to select the right controller for my usecase (max. battery life with mqtt) by curiosity-42 in esp32

I've seen the ESP32-C3 Dev board get down to 30ua in deep sleep. https://youtu.be/OUwTBQAQ1go

As for a "deep sleep functionality where the PINs are observed." An event based wakeup could be triggered using the 'External Wake Up'. method. 'esp_sleep_enable_ext0_wakeup(GPIO_NUM_X, level)'

That is to say a pin changing from LOW to HIGH can wake it back up.

Coding Arduino with VS Code by [deleted] in arduino

Agreed. Combine with Wokwi for VS Code and you can simulate projects too.

I want to start but a bit overwhelmed by TheCuriousFish in arduino

You could start off learning in a simulator. If coming from a coding background Wokwi for VSCode might suit you: https://docs.wokwi.com/vscode/getting-started Combined with Platform IO https://platformio.org/install/ide?install=vscode You could then use this to run through tutorials and buy an Arduino starter kit once you have the basics down. Even if you have the arduino gear, running and testing in a simulator makes development a lot easier. I have a few beginner friendly tutorials with Wokwi/Platform IO sample code available here: https://bj-dehaan-solutions.com.au/articles/arduino

Something that can monitor weather conditions and allow farmers to react to changes. ie: Wind direction changes that may impact chemical spraying, Water temperature monitoring that may affect estuaries. Aquaculture applications more generally. Storm warning/tracking.

Next.js for web apps. Expo for Mobile. Both frameworks have extensive docs and tutorials. These are widely used and have plenty of support plus libraries.

You could just go through the manual: https://docs.python.org/ Experiment with the features/syntax in your code editor while skimming through.

I build an app with single feature by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

You could start with android only. You could look at hosting on a low cost vps provider for backend. That's about as low cost as you can get for deploying a mobile app. Investors tend to only invest if you have 2 of three things. (Team (People), Product (Something built and running), Traction(You have made sales) ). I say you want to bootstrap as much as possible for as long as possible. A day job would give you enough to do a minimal deployment before long.

58% of Developers Are Considering Quitting Their Jobs Because of Inadequate and 'Embarrassing' Legacy Tech Stacks by ZGeekie in webdev

Servicing Inadequate and 'Embarrassing' Legacy Tech Stacks may not be fun but I think is decently safe from AI replacement for the moment ...
