HANDMADE GAMEDEV

Hardware keeps getting faster. Software doesn’t.

Boot times grow. Apps stall. Pages take seconds to load. Systems become heavier with every update.
This isn’t just a performance issue—it’s a loss of understanding. As we rely more on layers of abstractions, we lose sight of how programs actually work, and with that, the ability to control their behavior.

“Handmade” is my approach to building software. It’s about building with intent—understanding the hardware, shaping data deliberately, and making conscious trade-offs. It’s about writing systems you can fully reason about, instead of ones you merely assemble.
