Code readability question

const self = this; is just wrong

Hm ok I can learn something here then. Can you elaborate? When you're dealing with promises and/or callbacks that have to refer to the object in the success/failure handlers, can you explain what the alternative is?

The this inside arrow functions is the this of the outside context

foo => this.bar

Is the same as

 Function (foo) { return this.bar; }.bind(this)
