Apart from low probability of data corruption on write? No.

But if you do get the data corruption and you don’t have a nand backup, you’ll be in world of pain. :-)
Well... there is ways to restore with a donor nand... BUT... Just use resistors.

Right, thank you.
Didn't want to have 97 resistors lying around since 100 is the lowest quantity I can find :)
Also, does 4.2 ohm works? Just in case :)
Better than nothing, but I read that 47 to 50 is recommended. Sure you can't just order some? Better to wait a couple of days than to destroy your switch.

"47-50 ohm resistors - SMD 08085 or smaller"

Yeah, I'm not in a rush for sure, just gathering info)

If you want to boot original firmware, you need the resistors. They are for signal integrity (at higher speeds the impedance mismatch will F up the emmc signals without resistors).

If you don’t install them, you will only ever be able to use the unit with emu mmc (all running from a flash card).

TLDR: don’t skip them, it’s stupid to do so.
do u mean d a c points need 47ohms resistor?

Start with Micropython for your pi zero's, if you've not coded before, it's much easier than c or c++ for noobs to learn. Also changes are instant and you don't need to compile the code. There's loads of ebooks and tutorials on the net. Start with something basic like printing a line or text of turning an led on or off, then go through things like while/for loops, basic maths and stuff like that - soon you will understand that programming is much easier than you think. Once you learn python and understand the basics then try learning c# on windows (this is also easy), then after that c++.
Also, as a software engineer of nearly 20 years, my advice for you is to learn SOLID principals. Look it up as an acronym.
Object Oriented principals will make you much more marketable.
