Having also been part of an acquisition in 2020, I found her assessment of Twitter internally was spot on, and was something that I believe isn’t discussed enough in the context of the Elon acquisition.
There was a great sense of shared vision and purpose internally, but this also masked a fair amount of cynicism / political machinations (launch a feature we don’t actually believe to prove it won’t work — Fleets), engineering tech debt (I worked on the iOS client) leading to extremely long product / dev cycles, and ultimately the most destructive, a sense of complacency about it all. It was ultimately why I left, even before the Elon drama.

Not exclusively, of course, but the degree of processing of food greatly influences our body’s insulin response, which can over time have huge impacts on health (leading to fatty liver disease / metabolic syndrome / obesity / diabetes). This is why, for instance, fruit juice is so much worse for us than the whole fruit — most of the fiber is removed which would otherwise slow down digestion and temper insulin response. For more info I’d highly recommend Jason Fung’s Obesity Code book — he’s a nephrologist specializing in diabetes treatment.
Some kinds of processing increase insulin impact, others don't. If your goal is controlling sugars, a diet premised solely on minimizing processing isn't a great strategy; "processing" isn't the high-order bit of that problem.
Theoretically, you are right, of course. In practice though, to apply this, you would need to know how the processing exactly works, and how the body responds to that processing. Given that you can not really determine this easily, it is in practice just simpler to stick to unprocessed foods as much as possible, and just apply the sugar limit to those.
I don't think this makes a lot of sense. Cheese is cooked, fermented, emulsified, and aged. It has a lower glycemic impact than milk, its primary unprocessed input.
Mostly, I think the "processed" vs. "unprocessed" debate is an appeal to tradition, not science; if it's a kind of processing we were doing 200 years ago, it's OK; otherwise, it's unhealthful.
I would say that Cheese, at least its classic variants, fall exactly under the category where you have fairly good knowledge of the nature of its processing and its effects on the body. I'd say your example supports my argument.
One point that's not being discussed enough -- using SwiftUI (since it's heavily value-typed / struct-based) prevents a whole host of problems around retain cycles, typically the bugbear of iOS dev. I recently built an iOS app from scratch with recent grads with zero Swift experience (but had done React).
It was ~2mo before they even had to learn what a retain cycle was, and that was from using UIKit.
Yes, I recently built an entire app with 70+ frameworks that works fine in Previews. The key is to isolate dependencies into their own modules, and also split those into interface / live implementation modules if needed if the live impl causes preview crashes.

Muze is rethinking chat as a freeform canvas where talking with friends is more expressive and playful. You can check out videos demoing the app here: https://linktr.ee/muzejobs. If you'd like to demo the app feel free to contact us.

In Swift, now hopefully you wouldn't write this code but it's not entirely unlikely too. In fact the above Objective-C snippet is one of the few cases where Objective-C's forgiving `nil` behaviour doesn't save you from a crash.
