Q: What's the best approach to updating my app's UI for the new design?

A:

I think the best approach is to start from either the top down or the bottom up---however you perceive the hierarchy of your application. Focus on the big structural parts, since they tend to be most affected by the design and are often reflected in your code structure. Start there, then focus on the smaller elements.

	import AppKit

	@main
	struct DateFormatters {
	static func main() {
	let iterations = 100_000
	let startInterval: TimeInterval = 780_000_000

	time("Create Date Baseline") {
	var results: [Date] = []
