That has not been my experience at all, neither with a dev board (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2566.html), nor with a custom PCB using the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02 module (https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Espressif-Systems/ESP32...).

No button presses necessary (there are no buttons even, I have a slide switch on my PCB but almost never need to use it), everything resets automatically (except when it's in deep sleep, then I need to unplug it and plug it in again), I see log lines from the very first line in `app_main()`, etc.

I'm using a recent version of the ESP-IDF framework including all its tools (there is a VS Code extension that has a `Build, Flash and Monitor` button, I think all the operations are just run using the `idf.py` script, but not sure).
