I'd argue that craftsmanship is about delivering a well crafted end product to the user. The user (hell, even the interpreter/compiler) doesn't give a damn what convention for variable names you use.

Craftsmanship is about delivering a well crafted end product to the customer. More often than not, that's some sort of boss or product manager. And more often than not, they don't understand which design has a better total cost of ownership. But a good software craftsman does.

You are talking about hardware development. Software development is enormously more about maintaining than shipping.
