Casey Muratori giving his thoughts on smart-pointers, RAII, OOP, briefly the Rust borrow checker etc, and why you should avoid them and instead focus on learning and moving to the next stage of programming; “Grouped element thinking and systems”, which he refers to as N+1.

Casey also talks about ZII (Zero Is Initialization) and stubs as alternative ways of memory structure and error handling (Referred to as N+2 in the stream).

I own nothing here, all copyright is reserved for Casey! I just wanted a better and more convenient way of sharing this information, as I find this clip to be extremely valuable. But some parts contained silence and unrelated topics, which I cut out.

Frankly, I find this clip to have been the second most important advice on programming I ever saw.
