👉 Handmade computing refers to the creation of computing devices and systems by handcrafting individual components, such as transistors, wires, and integrated circuits, rather than relying on mass-produced, off-the-shelf parts. This approach allows for highly customized and specialized hardware tailored to specific needs or innovative designs, often pushing the boundaries of what is possible with conventional manufacturing techniques. By assembling these components manually, creators can achieve unique functionalities, optimize performance for particular applications, and explore novel architectures that might be impractical or impossible with automated production methods. This hands-on process is particularly prevalent in experimental, artistic, or niche computing projects where bespoke solutions are essential.
