Hoisted and Confused? Let’s Decode JavaScript’s Scope Magic
JavaScript isn't broken — but if you've ever wondered why a variable returns undefined or a function throws an error before it's even called... you're not alone. Many developers hit weird bugs due to scope and hoisting without realizing what's really going on. I just dropped a post that breaks down: Why var, let, and const behave so differently How JavaScript really handles function and block scopes What hoisting actually does (and doesn’t) How to write bug-free, predictable code If you've ever thought “JavaScript makes no sense”, this post is for you.
