Despite writing ES6 with arrow functions, I find that I prefer writing `const self = this` than relying arrow-function lexical scoping. Maybe it will change over time, but for now that way seems to make he intent far clearer and less likely

For me, at least, the problem is a tomato or a handful of grapes realistically isn't what I'll grab when I'm running out the door. I'm much more likely to just skip breakfast entirely or grab a bagel at a bodega. So whil

This frustrates me every day. The CodeAcadamy approach is a good start—it gets people interested and involved very quickly—but it's not enough on its own. Basics of architecture and design absolutely need to be understood to be a good
