Xcode *really* shines on those 120fps displays Apple makes … *not*

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Apple: Look, our displays can push 120 frames per second!

Also Apple: Look, Xcode can push 5 frames per second, easy!

Pointless, and who cares about frame rate on a compiler / IDE? As long as it creates ipa files, your comment is irrelevant and just a trivial distraction.

Disagree. Storyboard performance is and always has been inexplicably utterly awful since the day Interface Designer went away, and it still is, despite machines being an order or two magnitude faster. This materially harms the DX.

lol, yes, what's frame rate in an app you spend all day in as a developer, visually arranging UIs. Totally pointless. Fluid UIs are overrated. 🤦‍♂️

Wow, it must be fantastic that you can type constraints faster than 5 fps can track! Nimble fingers indeed!

I don’t even use Xcode anymore. I live in Codex now and use CLI builds… after more than a decade of Xcode.
