Trying to understand a complex codebase that makes extensive use of XCode's "Package Dependencies", and all of a sudden we're back to find and grep to try to figure out WTF.
Also, love (as in "hate") that XCode 16 won't compile code that XCode 15 will.

These experiences you relate give me a sense of peace about my decision to abandon that platform, eight-ish years ago, after it had been my home for thirty years. Linux never pisses me off like this. I'm sorry you're suffering, but selfishly glad you're talking about it.

Current job is going through some upheavals, and I've been keeping my eyes open for other possibilities, just to know what's out there, and every time something Apple related comes through I'm having a "wait, is that really a direction I want to go?" moment.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
