Although this is interesting, it's worth noting that she's saying that her departure is for health reasons, so it feels like it'd be a hollow place for us – as HN is wont to do – to speculate on the company.

I wish the author the best. I've been reading Lil'Log for many years, as long as I've been pursuing research. The times right now are challenging, and I can't imagine the stress working near the bleeding edge. Everyone I know is feeling something right now, even outside of such high stress positions.
