var self = this;

Yes, I know. That doesn't make an assertion about the "pitfalls" of `self` less muddy. It's literally a variable. It's a code smell too, but that's another conversation. Are we calling out variables in JS now? Maybe we should just hold ourselves to bootcamp standards, copy and paste StackOverflow or something like that. Programming is hard, etc.
