| entry-level devs. This is a legitimate concern! But in my
| experience it's pretty easy to sniff those folks out with a
| superficial investigation. You don't want to "spend any time"
| watching the video but I think you can spend two minutes
| skimming their other work, their CV, etc.

| I myself didn't know anything about this person so I poked
| through their blog a bit. They are clearly marketing their
| education business (and I am not their target audience) but
| also seem to know what they're talking about. More to the
| point: their material appears to be sincerely helpful to
| intermediate (and even advanced) NET devs. This relatively
| short post on unsafe array access in C#[1] although not
| especially deep, does at least dive into the runtime / IL
| internals enough to give a clear picture of what the unsafe
| code is actually doing.
|
| I haven't watched the video either but they are creating good-
| faith tutorials, they are obviously capable of understanding
| the .NET GC, and there's no reason to suspect they would change
| type and BS their way through a new video series.

| Don't spend your time on anything you don't want to, but if you
| want to learn about .NET GC then either research the author or
| research other deep dives into .NET GC.
|
| To research the author you could.
|
| Go to the About page on their blog...
|
| You could also look them up in Stack Overflow.

| You could watch the first 10 minutes where he addresses this.

| * David Fowler (ASP.NET Core creator)

|
| * Jared Parsons (Lead developer for C# Compiler team)

| Presumably if he wasn't saying anything worth listening to,
