If you can't or don't want press the boot button, then consider OTA (OverTheAir) updates.
Then you can upload new code wirelessly, even if the ESP32 is in another room.
Not for beginners though.

Most ESP32 boards have an automated boot-button system driven by the onboard USB-TTL converter, and pressing the boot button is not needed at all.

In some ways the way to go. It does require a sketch running on the board that has OTA updates implemented.

There are two common USB/UART chips, the CP21X does NOT need a boot button, the CH340 does. You could try desoldering one chip and adding the other, but it would be so much simpler to just find the right board for you on AE.
