You know what this is? It's called a linked list. And if you're a software engineer, you need to know what this thing is. A link list is a data structure that stores a list of items of indefinite size. There are more cons than pros to a linked list. For starters, link lists don't let you do random access. You can't just compute a memory offset and have a constant time lookup. With the link list, it's O N. You literally have to loop through the entire list.
