I’m just blown away by how powerful and cheap ESP32 is!!!

they are not powerful.
Do you have alternatives in mind?
what is your use-case for it?
My first intro to it was a nostr signer device. It can work as a very cheap display and controller for my BitAxe miner, you can flash nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2 Jade's firmware to it and use it as a hardware wallet.
for using as a general tool to make these stuff your self, you are using a right thing. but for specific hardwares like for example a nsd but for commercial use better choice is to design custom hardware. im not a hardware specialist, but this is what i know.
few months ago we were seeking to develop new nsds, but this was our challenge.
Well, I’m not a professional and just an amateur. I’ve seen bigger, more expensive boards in my life and simply the fact that something this small can do so much still amazes me. I get your point though that it does have shortcomings and it is not ideal for top-notch security. It’s good for entry level though.
yes, i agree. if someone writes a frimware, before using more advanced hardware they would normally use this to test their work as well.
