    I am a lazy dev (not really, clients always want fast code), so I use the provided HAL libraries 99.9% of the time.

    But I have seen code where someone would write something like

    gpio_write(PIN_X, true)

    and it always stood out to me.

      Define on as true or something? Or maybe that’s more confusing. I’m not a C dev so I’m not gonna pretend to understand idiomatic microcontroller code lol.

        Sometimes, people do that. But using 0/1 is explicit enough since you can refer to a line as ‘1’ or ‘0’ for high/low on the hardware as well
