  1. 01 What is the Stack?

    The stack makes me want to reference my head against a wall repeatedly until I heap.

  2. 02 Intro to Pointers & References

    Pointer? I barely even knew her! Can you allocate a pointer to my heart??? Do you know how long I've been single for????

  3. 03 Arrays & Pointer Arithmetic

    You guys ever learn so much about something you really didn't want to learn about? That's been me for all of Fall 2025.

  4. 04 What is the Heap? The Hell That is Dynamic Memory

    1980s: yells down the hall: 'Hey everyone I’m using 0xE000, try not to clobber it, thanks!'

  5. 05 Streams & I/O

    This is not relevant at all, but I constantly regret the period of my life where I tried live-streaming. Bro was dreaming a little TOO big.

  6. 06 The Joy of Constants

    I really did not want to talk about constants lol. They're incredibly boring, and the syntax is immensely frustrating. But they're important, so here we are.

  7. 07 C-Style ADTs & Strings in C++

    Hey, finally, a topic that is much more interesting, subjective, and abstract! Literally!

  8. 08 Exceptions, Error Handling, & Exit Codes

    Favorite error messages: 'Object reference not set to the instance of an object', 'Something went wrong', and 'Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.'

  9. 09 C++ Classes, Operator Overloading, & Templates

    You have no idea how long I procrastinated writing this. C++ classes are wild & easily contain some of the worst parts of the language.

  10. 10 The Unholy Rules of Three, Five, & Zero

    I had to split this away from the C++ classes post because this language is god awful.

  11. 11 Containers, Iterators, & Linked Lists

    I avoid iteration like the plague and use map (or similar) unless I'm held at gunpoint.

  12. 12 Recursion: Tail, Structural, & Tree

    I'm going to recurse(recurse(recurse(recurse(recurse(please make it stop)))))

  13. 13 Binary Search Trees

    Binary search trees are lowkey like trees.. that grew from seeds from Australia. All upside down n shii.
