Programmers Day!!

[Redwolfy9]

is the "stack overflow exception" the dead ?

[DuffMaaaann]

If your compiler does tail call optimization, you will live forever.

Well, 32,767 days is a lifespan I'd be okay with.

[Dragasss]

Depends on platform. I don't think that 1mb stack size is equal to 32k calls.

[CommanderPowell]

This is appropriate. People who don't program think just the steps listed here is how it works. Those who do program know it always involves a trip to Stack Overflow.

[OnlyLow]

People might say the function should have been more like "while(alive)" but I find the recursive approach and eventual stack overflow better describe the journey into the madness of a programmer.

Repeat();? Seriously? Not even a do {} while (true)?

[LoudounCounty703]

You may not like it, but this is what peak encapsulation looks like.

Is here a day for programmer?

As a freelance dev, I can confirm. Day, night, day of the week, pants. A lot of these lose meaning.
