So someone decided to create an AWS Lambda that calls itself recursively without a timeout limit. That's not a bug, that's a financial suicide note. Lambda functions have a 15-minute max execution timeout for a reason—to protect you from yourself. But forget to set it? Congrats, you just created an infinite loop that'll keep spawning new instances until your AWS bill looks like a phone number. The best part? AWS won't stop you. They'll just keep charging while your function enthusiastically calls itself into oblivion like an ouroboros made of JSON and regret.
