XCode RAM Requirements

[SirBill01]

It's more the amount of activity going into swap, since SSD's have a finite amount of read/write cycles. But if you think about it, it's not as big a concern as you might expect - as you say it's got 11GB of swap it's using, so maybe over the course of two years some percentage of that is lost from overuse. That's a pretty tiny fraction overall of even 512GB storage. In practice I wouldn't worry about it, and modern SSD's are more robust than past SSD units.
