SR latch
Why people recommend it
Ben Eater builds an SR latch from NOR gates on a breadboard and shows how feedback holds a state; people copy it when learning sequential logic.
Watch for: output state at power-up around 5:00
In their words
I am starting to learn computer architecture and decided to try building an SR latch using NOR gates and without a clock (basically copying this video) on a breadboard.

As I understand it, latches are made from OR gates, but I am trying to understand the basis for how they work and came across this video.
