Is it normal that it takes 30 seconds to upload a simple sketch (blink)? I'm using NodeMCU ESP-12e and Deviot in Sublime as my IDE.

Or are there any settings/optimizations I can do to make it faster? I think I read somewhere that you can disable verification of code after upload, but I can't find a setting like that in Deviot.

Thanks!

Wow. I didn't think this would work on my machine.
