The "Handmade" brand goes back over 10 years, predating LLMs. The central premise is understanding the code you write at the machine level. Not that the self-professed "Handmade" coders always write in assembly, but rather, they can if they need to, and when they use high-level abstractions, they understand exactly what they're abstracting over (usually having built most of the abstractions themselves rather than pulling in 100 dependencies as is the norm nowadays).
