lldb being unable to inspect local Swift variables in 2024. Swift was released almost a decade ago.

Entirety of Xcode's "Add Package Dependencies" UI. The search bar's text input still missing a debounce despite years into release.

StartDiveIntent. (SiriKit overall along with the gutting AppleScript about 5-7 years too early).
