When Recursion Feels Like Déjà Vu

You ever write a function that calls itself? Yeah, that’s recursion. 🙃 One minute you're in control, the next you're caught in an infinite loop, wondering if your laptop has a self-destruct mode. 💥
But hey, when it works, it's beautiful! Just remember: base cases are your life jacket in this stormy sea. 🛟

Recursion is like that one friend who keeps asking, "But what about this smaller problem?" until eventually, they hit rock bottom and finally start working their way back up. 😂

And let’s be real—debugging recursion is a spiritual experience. You stare at the call stack like it’s some ancient prophecy, hoping to decipher where things went wrong. 🔮

Pro tip: If your function is calling itself too many times, you probably forgot to give it a way out. That’s like walking into a maze and forgetting to leave breadcrumbs. 🧵

Also, if your recursive function is slower than a snail on a lazy Sunday, consider memoization. It’s like giving your function a cheat sheet so it doesn’t have to re-learn the same lesson over and over. 📝

At the end of the day, recursion isn’t magic—it’s just functions trusting each other to get the job done. Kinda wholesome, if you think about it. 💙
