He's also a top telescope.nvim contributor and knows how to read, which is impressive. He used to work at Sourcegraph before becoming a full time coding educator and content creator.

What you'll learn in this C course
Memory management is something that every programmer needs to deal with and understand at some point. If you're used to working with languages and tools that handle it for you, this course will teach you how all that works under the hood. You'll even build your own garbage collectors from scratch. This course will teach you the C basics you need for the course, but it's not a course about C, it's about memory.

There was a couple tasks that seem to be missing explanations for some things. Unfortunately I can't remember which of the tasks has it. Some basic stuff at closer to the begining of the cource

OMG, it is so hard but I finally got through it. Loved the course so much more useful than just reading a book! I will need to spend some time to revisit the concepts even after finishing this. I guess drawing diagrams would be needed at some point!

the instructions werent clear enough in many places, some information was left out or provided by a link that took you to an explanation of a function that was a bit too hard to read unless you are an expert. It would be difficult to get through this course without outside help in its current state.

I really liked how everything was done, there's a couple of stuff that aren't that clear, but overall it was an excellent experience building something that's actually used on REAL LIFE, thanks!
