It can be easy to believe your own mental fallacies and that belief only grows stronger over time, however people have surprised me by giving their perspective that may be different from mine and bringing up things I would have never thought of.

How does empathy help you build better software?

If we have a function defined as function sayHello(){console.log("Hello!")}, what is the difference between entering sayHello and sayHello() in the console?

When you type the function defined with parenthesis, it just returns undefined. If you do not include parenthesis, it is returned as a syntax error. 


What is the difference between function parameters and arguments? 

Parameters indicate what information a function needs to know in order to work (ex. width, height) 
Arguments use the return value of the parameters and pass it along into the code.
