It's such a simple thing to explain when looking at yours.. I wonder why so many teach the "Hoisting is often explained as putting variables and functions to the top of the file" - perhaps that's what they learned; perhaps it is the fallacy of thinking "people won't understand because it's complex".
If someone would have asked me to explain hoisting before reading this article I would fall back on that explanation but not really knowing why; now I know better! I have quite good understanding of javascript (for being a mostly C# developer - learning react) and like to know what is going on, one of my favorites in the JS world to read and listen to is Kyle Simpson ('You don't know JS' , + 'Yet') - he is awesome , but you know what.. you, Lydia, are fantastic teacher and a ⭐ on the same sky as Kyle.

I hope you take this advantage to a next level and produce courses on Udemy and/or Pluralsight - I think you could make a fortune (or at least some extra cash) on it πŸ˜„

Keep it up πŸ’š !
