Lots of assumptions off a comment that is mostly just me stating my preference for short and unique part numbers. Nothing would be wrong with ESP32xx ESP33xx, ESP34xx, etc.

Espressif only have 312 SKUs [0]. You're telling me nobody could come up with a naming scheme where more than 2/3 of them don't have part numbers longer than 18 characters?

Doesn't really matter either way, but short part numbers do fit nicely in a BOM table without using really wide columns. (even though I usually find capacitors to have even longer names).

You're going to really, really hate learning about STM32 MCUs.

Haha, that I did! I spent a good while narrowing down that very list to pick one of my first ones out last year. By coincidence, I ran into the very same part number in a completely different circumstance a few months later. What are the chances of that!? Did help me feel that I hadn't picked out a real oddball one though.

Part number was still just 15 characters, and that's enough to specify if you want the tape and reel version. Not that anyone's counting :).

I guess those long part numbers do get burned into your head after a while after all.

You really come across as condescending and patronizing.

Honestly, I just know what I'm talking about.
