> I've been forced to update to this pile of shit because latest iOS requires latest Xcode which in turn requires Catalina. It's a nightmare.

I'm literally halfway there as I type this, Xcode 'installing components'. Having to upgrade essentially everything just to get the right dev tools for the current iOS is madness, feels like buying a new house to fit the new coffeemaker...

I install new versions of Xcode about every two weeks on average. The amount of time it takes to have a new Xcode running is at least an hour: first you download a massive XIP, then the system "verifies" it forever when you try to open it, then it takes forever to unarchive because it's huge, then you need to copy it from ~/Downloads to /Applications which takes another couple of minutes. Then you hit the component installation part… (I think this step has something to do with installing new MobileDevice frameworks?)

Forcibly relocated to a refugee camp tent with leaking water pipes next to your air mattress. But at least everything around you in your tent is white, flat, and material and your coffeemaker works.
