Our fifth annual Wheel Reinvention Jam is just one week away. Inspired by Handmade Hero, we believe in the power of reinventing the wheel. From September 22-28, join us in building software from scratch. handmade.network/jam/wheel-rein…

The 2025 Wheel Reinvention Jam has officially begun. Join or follow along with updates at handmade.network/jam.

Yesterday's jam recap was a great time! Looking forward to Handmade Seattle and even more jams next year. (Particular highlight: @mmozeiko built a TeamViewer replacement in just a week.) youtube.com/watch?v=XLY2Ta…

Live in 30 minutes!

TOMORROW at 11am CDT we’ll celebrate this year’s Wheel Reinvention Jam submissions with our recap show! Will be live at twitch.tv/HandmadeNetwork

The Wheel Reinvention Jam is just over two weeks away! This is the Handmade Network's flagship jam, where we have one week to build software from scratch. It's my favorite event of the year and I hope you all join us! Details below. handmade.network/jam/wheel-rein…

We’re doing three jams for the Handmade Network this year, and the first one is a weird one! We’re doing a “learning jam” in March - one weekend learning everything you can about a programming topic, and the second weekend teaching it to the community. handmade.network/jam/learning-2…

The Wheel Reinvention Jam is underway! From today until October 1, you can join us and make some software from scratch. handmade.network/jam/2023

With the Wheel Reinvention Jam starting in just five days (!) I wanted to share why we do this jam every year. In episode 1 of Handmade Hero, a viewer asked @cmuratori "Why not use an engine? Why reinvent the wheel?" Casey's answer is SHOCKINGLY relevant right now.

We have finally released an early MVP of Orca, our new cross-platform runtime for WebAssembly applications! Excited to have the Handmade community play with it during the jam on the 25th. Feels very good to finally have it out in the open 😁 handmade.network/blog/p/8781

The Handmade community's third annual Wheel Reinvention Jam is coming up in just a few weeks! Join us the week of September 25 and make something from scratch. handmade.network/jam

I'm really excited to finally announce Orca, a new platform for WebAssembly apps. This is a major new Handmade Network project led by @forkingpathsdev. orca-app.dev It's very early, but we've already got a working prototype and are excited to share more soon!

Today we’re starting our Handmade Network summer project: Time Machine! We’re booting up our old devices and recording what they were like to use. The goal is to see how the user experience of computing has changed over time (mostly for the worse!) handmade.network/timemachine

I'm tired of seeing lazy "software performance doesn't matter" excuses on forums and social media, so I devoted an entire video to the mountains of evidence debunking that ridiculous idea: computerenhance.com/p/performance-…

Just noticed the original tweet says "all the submission". I grammar good

A HUGE thanks to everyone who participated! You make the planning and preparation all worth it. ❤️

Hope you've all had a chance to look at the results of our Visibility Jam! We've look through all the submission and are excited to share our favorites. handmade.network/jam/visibility…

It takes a certain kind of malicious obliviousness to optimize for the person who will write the code once than the many people who will run it over and over again.

Finished REDE, a Regex IDE which visualizes the structure and evaluation of Regex/NFAs for my submission to @handmade_net visibility jam

The Visibility Jam has concluded! Thanks so much to everyone who participated. We'll be publishing a post soon with a recap of our favorites, but in the meantime, check out all the submissions at handmade.network/jam/visibility…
