I was watching some video and there was mention of someone getting 1984. Upon which, a guy said that this one (one who got 1984) will end up being radicalized. I was already born into a very radical environment so no needs of books to radicalize me (although I am trying to be moderate and chill now)

Purely Functional Data Structures by Chris Okasaki. It took the blinders off and I became a convert to functional programming.

    I like to joke about recursion and how it gets overused as a "good" programming practice, but I genuinely have a solid understanding of it and find it pretty intuitive... In OOP. I cannot wrap my head around tail recursion

    Tail recursion is just recursion? I mean who cares if it's the last thing done or not 😋 ?

    Check out template meta programming if you want some recursion to blow your mind (like the variadic template).
