I find it hard to believe

Yeah, this post looks like spam just to lure users into clicking on the links (that are both unrelated to the ESP or programming in general) in the signature.

It will probably be removed by Richard soon.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.

When you click the upload button, the code will be compiled, uploaded to your board and discarded afterwards. So there is no saved version of the compiled code, except on your board.

That's why, each time you upload the code to your board, it needs to be compiled first.
