I've already gone through 3 weeks worth of Handmade Hero episodes but stopped because of my busy schedule. During that short time I was able to appreciate the value of having full control over your code. I've built a career using game engines other people have made. Sometimes it bothers me that I do not know what's going on behind the hood because of all the layers of abstraction. It's nice to be able to make something quickly, but the programmer in me feels sad that I'd have to trust things to just work without me knowing how. Handmade Hero showed me how things work behind the scenes and it inspired me to be more aware of the internals of what I'm using as much as possible. Now I make it into a point to delve into documentations and source codes and am now also playing around with low level languages (Like C and Rust) during my free time. Overall these have helped me a lot and I look forward to improving myself more. So kudos and thanks to Casey for this series. It has helped me strive to become a better programmer.
