He gave me some pretty standard feedback: this looks good, fix this, etc. But he also told me that I really shouldn&rsquo;t be using var for my variable assignments because it &ldquo;makes the code less readable&rdquo;. I put a lot of effort in trying to make my code as readable as possible so his comment took me back for a moment.
