Watch debugging is rock-solid in Xcode 15. I've yet to have to do the reboot dance to get a debug session going. Thank you to whoever improved that.

we should treat adults learning new skills like we treat kids: with endless patience, not expecting miracles from day one, praising the little steps rather than shaming them for it

I'm busy watching back to back WWDC videos, and needed to pause for a moment to say how freaking awesome the new MapKit/SwiftUI integration is – everything I wanted and more! FB7857481 ✅ This plus the new StoreKit work shows how much of an impact SwiftUI is having across Apple.

Now, almost all of Airbnb’s new screens and components in our latest launch were built using SwiftUI, and the vast majority of engineers said that SwiftUI made them more efficient without regressing the user-facing quality of their screens.
