@caseyliss I try hard not to judge, but I’m actively working with it and I still find myself marveling at the level of complexity of some parts
(Which is no doubt there for a reason!)

@mattiem when I was first transitioning from C# → ObjC, I was gobsmacked there was no concise DateTime class like I was used to. There were a million levels of abstraction around this in ObjC. I was whining about this to a colleague. They asked me if there’s too much abstraction, or _just the right amount_ of it? Which was their kind way of saying “this problem is much fucking harder than you think it is”. That really stuck with me.
