flashback to installing xcode circa ios 13
I had to install an old xcode version, grab a folder, install new xcode, and paste the folder in
took a few tries to understand this, so it's a day + 20GB of downloads later before I had a working build
this was caused by a weird race condition between ios + swift versions and is probably not typical, but my takeaway was that having users who must use your stuff sorely tempts companies to ship crappy software
