The video tutorial explains the importance of implementing a custom assignment operator in C++ to prevent shallow copying, which can lead to memory leaks. It highlights the need to handle self-assignment by comparing object addresses. The tutorial also introduces the rule of five, emphasizing the implementation of move constructors and move assignments to manage resources efficiently. Debugging techniques are discussed to ensure the program runs without errors.
