    https://www.salesforceben.com/creating-dummy-data-in-salesforce/
    Have you ever created a new Developer org, or spun up a new Sandbox, only to realize that you're going to need a lot of data to test out some functionality?

  1. Understanding Recursion in Apex
    https://www.salesforceben.com/understanding-recursion-in-apex/
    A recursive method is a method that calls itself. Any time a method is called, it goes on the top of "call stack". Methods are executed from the top of the call stack to the bottom. In the case of Apex we have a limit to our stack depth of 1000 - if you have a recursive method, it can never call itself more than 1000 times. This is to prevent an endless loop and ensuring the fair use of resources. What's the Alternative to recursion?
