I would suggest changing the declaration of const name at line 14. Assuming the getAllButtons() function returns 500 buttons, your for loop is going to iterate 500 times.

Each one of these iterations is going to allocate a memory location for name, since at every iteration you're declaring const name.

I propose adding let button; outside of the scope of the for loop, and at every iteration, the code would simply replace the current value of button with the new call to querySelector
