If anyone knows someone at Apple working on unit testing, can you ask them for a runtime warning that is fired when a unit test causes a task to be created that outlives it's test case?

It would prevent a lot of headaches for me.

Here's a tool for the community: Apple Dev Search – a search engine for Apple development blogs. Currently indexing 15029 articles across 675 blogs.

It's not new, but I'm convinced it's useful and think it needs a boost. Also, it might be a slight antidote to LLMs helping themselves to all our content. Some might say it's old fashioned.

There's a post about it at https://luxmentis.org/blog/appledevsearch/ or just head straight to https://appledevsearch.com

xcede now uses your choice of yaml, toml or json for config files. Plus, profiles! No more mutant bash thing (well, the old config file is still supported for now).

There are other handy changes too, and don't forget the new fast build option.

Swift Package Manager is a really great thing. But what always bothers me is that it simply downloads the entire repository, including every bit of rubbish from the repo, which is often completely unnecessary.

It annoys me incredibly to clutter up other people's hard drives with useless stuff...
