Describe your suggestion

Recursion is one of those concepts that most new learners seem to have a hard time understanding.
I've helped a handful of people on the Discord channel with their problems with recursion problems. And one of the problems that I encountered a lot was the fact that learners tend to try to "grasp the whole process" at once, instead of trying to deal with the "general case".
This led me to write an article that introduced a way of thinking/approach to recursion to deal with that issue.
I've asked on discord mod-mail to share it to get some feedback and go the following response:

Thanks for reaching out before sharing the article in the chat. We've reviewed the article along with your stated desire to make recursion more understandable for people new to it. We would suggest opening an issue on the recursion lesson and proposing a rewording or working that content with the maintainers into the lesson so that all may benefit.

Would like to open this up to discussion.

@Sokolan Hello, thank you for making this issue.

Just to clarify specifically what you're proposing: you want to link this article in the lesson's Assignment section? Or as an additional resource?
