Learn Memory Management in C
Extra perks unlocked via skillcraft.ai link
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.

TJ DeVries
TJ DeVries (aka "teej") has never worked at Netflix, but if you've heard of Neovim, well, he's a maintainer! It's really not a big deal. 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.
