Apple needs a better coding harness than Xcode

Since when did we stop saying “IDE” and start saying “code harness”?

Since we stopped writing code and started writing prompts instead :)

Buy vs Build? Buy. They need this yesterday. Xcode has gotten so bad. It's not even funny anymore.

Instructions unclear, they're building a cloud-based CI/CD SaaS on top of it instead: https://developer.apple.com/xcode-cloud/

The future of Apple clearly is "subscriptions".

It hurts my eyes looking at this haha .. but that's different than the actual harness as we know it tho! Given their ecosystem, they'll always control the CI/CD part of it, which is fine. It's just painful to use XCode to get anything done anymore.
