General • Flowchart about where to get Pico documentation and information?

I was going over all of the various resources related to developing for the Raspberry Pi Pico, so I asked ChatGPT (don't be a hater on me for using this AI from time to time) to lay out a possible flowchart. I went through many revisions. This is mainly to help myself keep track of everything. Text based form for now.

The elements of the sticky "Giving Us Feedback" by Jamesh is included. Should I mention the FAQ also?

Suggestions and input for any additions are welcome.

If you think this is stupid, you might be right, but please be kind about it.

12. **End**

I already see I need to add references to GNU GDB, and VS Code add-ons.
