JavaScript Tip 💡
How to properly check nested values in JavaScript: use optional chaining (?.)
With && chains, it’s easy to:
- forget a level
- reorder checks incorrectly
- accidentally access a property too early
Cleaner code, fewer bugs.

You can delay access to a class instance by returning a Promise from the constructor.
✅ Instance is only accessible once fully initialized
❌ Surprising: constructors usually don’t return Promises
Powerful pattern, but use with care.

If you know this, you beat 90% of OOP developers.
Private does not mean "per-object", it means "only accessible inside this class's methods".
Accessing private property (A) from outside the object (B) is allowed when it's the same class.
