  This reminds me that I really need to resume studying Mandarin.

  I do most my work on the terminal so I prefer something in the middle: convention over configuration, most functionality included but rather small by default. More complex needs can be compiled in. Related: I wish more Linux distributions’ package managers would allow for binary installation alongside source compiled packages. In FreeBSD I’m amazed at how well `pkg`’ binary packages play with ports-compiled ones.

  I basically feel the same way driving an Audi. I used to drive shitbox 90s-era Nissan Sentras but after ~5 years with the Audi it’s close to impossible not to drive like a complete douche in heavy traffic. It just seems like it takes such a long time for others to respond (light turns green, wait 10 seconds to start moving or just hit the turbo, switch into the other lane then cut off the zombie in front of you). More generally I think vehicles with turbos just put you on another level.

  Why would you be forced to use Xcode? I’ve been a developer (just not Swift) for years and have never used Xcode.
