Wine, sweet Jazz melodies and Code.

Xcode 10 and playgrounds are still an awful joke that lacks the majority of the error affordances of an Xcode project.

Also WTF is the value of this?

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@ericasadun @erikstrottmann Nope. It's fine for me

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@krzyzanowskim The joke is that they've retained #KPMG to do the auditing; for the right amount of money, they'll say anything

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@jckarter @krzyzanowskim @slava_pestov @Javi @heathborders Sure; but that fact doesn’t help with Swift & SourceKit.

Hence in Sublime I skip that entirely; granted it’s quite reminiscent of the 80s.

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@krzyzanowskim @jckarter @slava_pestov @Javi @heathborders Apple really should farm Xcode’s development out. Including anything else they don’t consider to be business criticial.

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@krzyzanowskim @jckarter @slava_pestov @Javi @heathborders Work only in Sublime Text; whilst I lose all the IDE-esque advantages, I win with no beachballs.

Recently tried Xcode; its still awful.😤

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@jckarter @krzyzanowskim @slava_pestov @Javi @heathborders Do they also hate it as much as we do?

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@krzyzanowskim @slava_pestov Developer needs are off by one profit error.

Obvious outcome: Sand blasting some designer friendly stripes / patterns is an easy fix. https://t.co/Ev9OgdikoK

@Roflexis @slava_pestov Probably, but it depends on the priorities. Apple's yearly chasers are for something new, which IMO leaves little capacity for stabilization

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@slava_pestov Perfectly frames the idiocy of a pushing for a new release of (iOS, macOS, ... & Swift) every year.

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@heathborders @saronyitbarek @ID_AA_Carmack Agreed, work still requires a muddle of c#, Java, Kotlin, JS and Swift.

Apple is certainly as you said the “shitshow” amongst these.

@simjp Invert for that for temperature here; peaked at 37℃ today, currently 33℃

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@KhaosT #Apple is being a real jerk on this, or maybe they just hire jerks?

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@HloniNyetanyane At least some #ANC delegates convinced the idiots to include sustainable condition — diametrically opposed just like idiotic & sensibility.

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@kuba_suder @krzyzanowskim Agreed; really idiotic if not re Apple would be best served improving its App stores, OS, Xcode, Swift, ... instead of focusing on this.

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@b3ll https://t.co/xczsJBXK8O { for num in $0 { } } 😜

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@krzyzanowskim I still miss the experience of coding on 3270 / 5250 style terminals. IDEs are IMO more pain than pleasure.

[AfricanSwift @SwiftAfricanus]

@slava_pestov Tsk tsk Xcode, ... Err Swift.
