Title: Bug Biting Back - Help Needed to Fix this Insane JS Loop Issue

"Hey guys, I'm having a brain fart with this JavaScript code that's supposed to loop through a dynamic array of objects and return a filtered list. For some reason, it's hitting an infinite loop and my CPU is crying. Can someone please take a look at the code and help me figure out what's going on?"

```javascript
const data = [
{ id: 1, name: 'John' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Jane' },
{ id: 3, name: 'Bob' }
];

function filterData() {
const result = [];
data.forEach((item) => {
if (/* some condition */) {
result.push(item);
}
});
return result;
}
```

"Hey Op, have you tried setting a debugger to pause the loop and see where it's getting stuck? Sometimes these js loops can get crazy, but a simple devtools breakpoint can help u figure out what's goin on."

"Hey mate, just had a look at the code you posted and I think I spotted the issue. That recursive function is causing the loop to spiral out of control. Try adding a condition to break the loop after a certain number of iterations, see if that kills the bug"

"Lol what's the issue? You're talking about a JS loop, did it just go rogue or what?"

"Hey OP, just took a glance at your code and it looks like you've got an infinite loop due to that recursive function call. Try adding a base case to stop the recursion, or maybe use a different approach altogether. Can you share the exact code snippet where the issue is happening?"

"Hey OP, can you give us the code snippet that's causing the issue? A quick glance might help me spot the problem, or at least narrow it down. Maybe you're getting stuck in an infinite loop or something?"
