Shoutout to the free Harvard CS50 course I started last month

I was stuck on pointers for days, but the lecture on memory finally made it click. Has anyone else found a good project to practice them after the course?

That memory lecture took me three rewinds to get.

That moment when a concept clicks is so satisfying. It's like when you finally understand how a tool works, and suddenly you see it everywhere in your daily life. Getting pointers is a big step toward seeing the structure behind the programs we use.

Yeah that "see it everywhere" feeling is real. It's like your brain finally has the right filter to spot patterns it was missing before. I get that with low level stuff, suddenly noticing how everything is just moving data around. Makes you respect the simple parts that build up to what we actually use.
