I see a lot of code that does 
var self = this
 
and then they use self instead of this for the duration of the function?
 
Why and when would you use the above pattern?
 
 
When you are:
 
1. need to use callbacks
2. unable to use arrow functions
3. unwilling to explicitly bind each callback to `this`
 
There are people known to survive without using that pattern at all.
