Recursive Functions โ The Cleanest Way to Solve Repeating Problems
A recursive function is simply a function that calls itself until it reaches a stopping point.
Perfect for tasks like factorials, tree traversal, search, and breaking problems into smaller chunks.
โก๏ธ Simple Example
function factorial(n) {
if (n === 1) return 1; // base case
return n * factorial(n - 1); // recursive call
}
console.log(factorial(5)); // 120
๐ก Why use recursion?
Cleaner logic
Reduces complex loops
Mirrors how many problems naturally break down

Introducing Enkokilish Bench
โข github.com/dagmawibabi/enkokilish_bench
This is a new benchmark for LLMs focused on evaluating an LLMs ability to understand, reason and solve Amharic riddles.
I used Evalite as the evals framework, AI SDK to make API calls to LLMs and used Vercel AI Gateway as a provider.
All the riddles and their answers are listed in
datasets/enkokilsh.ts file and will keep on being updated.
For the quickest setup, clone the repo, set your AI Gateway API Key in the .env file and just pnpm eval:dev then open localhost:3006 and explore.
You can run the evals in node mode which enables you to export the results in JSON format, or run the evals in a CI/CD pipeline.
Oh and quick tip, I've organized and arranged it all in a way that you can rename and create any other benchmark of your choice just by changing the dataset and eval title.
If you've got a few Enkokilish you know, please contribute in the GitHub. Thanks โค๏ธ

๐๐๐๐๐๐these testimonials made my night
Recently I spent hours debugging an issue where my frontend and backend REFUSED to communicate after deployment ๐ค
So my app decided to live its own lifeโฆ
-Backend moved from Railway โก๏ธ Render
-Frontend still trying to talk to Railway
- Result: CORS errors, broken login, and only my test account working
Turns out the problems were: Old build cache still pointing to Railway ,Wrong API base URL in Vercel and CORS not allowing my Vercel domain also
App accidentally using TEST database in production ๐ต
๐ Fixes:
Cleared build cache & redeployed
Updated VITE_API_BASE_URL to Render
Proper CORS config added
Separated test & production DBs
So ๐
Always double-check your env variables
CORS is not your enemy, just misunderstood
Cache remembers your exโฆ forever
Developer life: 1 bug fixed, 5 new ones unlocked ๐๐
Hope this helps someone stuck in the same rabbit hole ๐ฐ๐ป๐ฅ
