using let rather than var

Using let rather than var and use strict can avoid some overwriting of variables i will write a function here that shows how let throws an error. This function now gives an error in the console. Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'x' has already been declared

both of these examples crash as the 1st one detects an error, but you can still see how let can be used to avoid code errors. 

CSS

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  transition: all 0.2s;
  scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

JS

function run_function() {
  "use strict";
  let x = "This is X";
  let x = "This is not X?";
  write_result(x);
  return x;
}

function run_function_vars() {
  var x = "This is X";
  var x = "This is not X?";
  write_result(x);
  return x;
}

// this is a common function just to write the content into the result div
function write_result(result) {
  var result_html = document.getElementById("result");
  result_html.innerHTML = result;
}

HTML

<div id='result' class='mb-3 alert alert-primary'>..</div>
<button onclick='run_function();' class='btn btn-primary mb-1'>Run Function using let</button>
<button onclick='run_function_vars();' class='btn btn-primary mb-1'>Run Function using var</button>

In this case my anchor this week becomes driving almost 2hrs outside of Atlanta to one of my favorite hard core gyms in the world.. MetroFlex aka The Dungeon. The gym owners turn the heat way up so it becomes a fun sweat box and the gym members just watch from afar and leave me alone. I happily drive myself long distances to find MY ANCHOR. Our anchor allows us to have balance, focus and be as productive as possible. And if you're in the middle of a heavy set and your headphones start to fall off your head, like mine did here.. well.. f*ck the headphones. Let em break and fall. You can always get a new pair, but the iron ain't ever gonna lift itself.
