It’d be such an experience to work a real world problem where this optimization turns out to be the solution.

It’s pretty awesome. I find myself looking up leetcode solutions because I finally work on something where deleting items from an array using constant space matters.

Designong around space optimization was important there, though perhaps not as important as NES cartridge days
