“As a senior programmer, you can just retire early to avoid dealing with AI!” I am happy for those who can. I am not one of them.

I expected NotificationCenter.MainActorMessage conforming types to be post-able from anywhere and auto-isolate delivery to the main actor. Instead, I get a EXC_BREAKPOINT when this is invoked from a background queue.

I wonder what goes on there.
