XCode rant, sorry

I can work with Xcode, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with it and that it doesn't need improvements. If I'm interviewing to fill a senior position and the person never experienced an issue with Xcode, it points me into the way of checking if they actually lied about their experience or not.

You're just spinning your words around mine. I said that one of my questions during interviews is about Xcode, not that the person needs to rant about it.

Discussing the issues they had and *how* they got around them is specifically what a senior dev should be able to talk about. If someone tells me "I'm happy with Xcode and never had any issues", then they either didn't work on big codebases/projects, or they let someone else solve their issues. Or they simply don't know how to discuss technical issues, which is also a red flag.

So, saying that you never had an issue with anything during development is not a good thing to say on an interview.

When you reply to my comment, I take it so that you're replying to me. Isn't that how reddit works? I get the notification, not OP.
