I can’t imagine anyone but a total novice disagreeing with this.

I can understand finding pointers hard at first, but I can absolutely not understand trying to argue that they aren’t useful.

There were a lot of “pointer hard” memes back r/programmerhumor. Probably a lot of beginner's over there.

I guess I cheated by already having an understanding of how the computer works before starting C.
