Other resources I like:

- Eskil Steenberg’s “How I program C” (https://youtu.be/443UNeGrFoM). Long and definitely a bit controversial in parts, but I find myself agreeing with most of it.

- CoreFoundation’s create rule (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5718415/corefoundation-o...). I’m definitely biased but I strongly prefer this to OP’s “you declare it you free it” rule.

Thanks for the shout out. I had no idea my 2h video, without a camera 8 years ago would have such legs! I should make a new one and include why zero initialization is bad.

Thank you for recording it! :) It hits the right balance between opinionated choices with explanations and a general introduction to "post-beginner" problems which probably a lot of people who have programming experience, but not in C, face.
