Guys, I think I finally understand when and how to use pointers! Have avoided them for years, but now couldn't escape it. (Typescript/Python dev)

Someone way smarter than me: My current understanding is that it is best to use pointers when you don't want to actually pass the object/value around if it is very large, particularly in situations where you may need to access a small piece or perform mutations on it. Happy to be wrong, as long as I learn.
