The point is to be capable of doing this without being some sort of superstar you can name who's dedicated themselves to the craft.

There is no replacement for dedication to the craft.
I mean, there is hella replacement for craft: industrial precision. Like you can write fucking fast code now without having to ASM that shit. And no one is building a revolutionary microprocessor with his hands. That shit is going in the machine.
The machine cannot replace craftsmanship. Soldering transistors and writing small, fast code are two completely unrelated activities.
