I guess I shouldn't have switched from CS to IT when we got to recursion (I can read it, but I can't write it to save my life)

Thats totally fine for someone learning. Some really good coders i know still cannot explain complicated data structs or complicated topics. Nobody can "measure" you as a "real programmer" anymore, try as they might to replace us with LLM AI. You wrote code? You've been thru it? You've learned a good amount? You're a programmer.
