— I redefined them
Var can lead to unwanted behaviors, let is bound to its scope so it's just like a variable definition should be

— My boss just did this:
mounted: function () {
this.background = this.$el.querySelector('.stories-background')
this.stories = this.$el.parentElement.querySelector('.stories')in a vue component. You can reference $el inside a component, that does not mean it's good. It leads to unwanted behaviors (as it is and that it's why I am refactoring this)

— Two weeks and he produced a 1k lines class with weveryfuckingthing in a single component, no split, no functions
