I find it hard to believe that exactly the same topic with exactly the same wording was created just over a month ago by a user with a different name.

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.

My guess would be that your board needs code that is compiled for that specific type of board. In the code editor, you write in 'plain english', which is a non-compiled version of the code.
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.
