If macOS High Sierra shows your password instead of the password hint

Manglement seems to have collectively forgotten that iOS app quality is dependent on macOS and tooling quality. Improve macOS, you put a lightness in devs' steps everywhere and iOS apps get even better.

It seems that macOS has gotten completely bogged down (like really, really bogged down) and mired in bureaucracy.

What I just described is a "little thing" that's very very hard to quantify to non-engineers, sadly.

(I recently learned (I have no exposure to Apple, I'd like to but their stuff is expensive!!) that you can't just "go ahead and upgrade Xcode", but that you have to do it in a very specific/esoteric way or you break absolutely everything, and that it's not unreasonable sometimes to just nuke macOS from orbit and green-field reinstall everything.)

MacOS is a dead end, iOS is clearly where Apple is converging and you'll shortly see ARM laptops from Apple shipping iOS. It's only a matter of time before their flagship productivity-oriented products are running iOS.

Xcode is just an app (minus some bits shared with iTunes). What problems are you having updating it?

That last paragraph will seem familiar to anyone running prior versions of Windows... What an ironic turn of events!
