Web dev here working with React for ~4 years now. I really don't enjoy it as much as I used to. It has made me dislike JavaScript in general, and I often find myself wishing things were simpler and more performant. I can't emphasi

#2 is terrible advice. Acidic food weakens your enamel. Brushing after eating will make things worse. It's actually recommended that you wait after eating acidic foods to brush. Rinsing (with water) is totally safe, though.
