There’s no really right or wrong in this situations, it’s more a matter of personal experience. The way I see it’s a good balance between naming (which is probably the hardest thing about programming) and reusability / maintainability. In this case it’s pretty trivial but imagine a scenario where …

Yeah, I finished the lesson yesterday, but I’ve been thinking about that part of it all day today, and both ways bug me a little. One way is more readable, one way is more reuseable. I guess when the code is well commented (like it was originally), then I don’t need to prioritize readability. Thanks…

You are much better off starting with this line: let record = collection[id] Then instead of constantly referencing collection[id] throughout your code, reference record instead. Nearly every single solution I’ve seen to this challenge has people avoiding using intermediate variables like this, s…
