"Everything starts with a hello world. It says your toolchain is at least working well enough to do some work." Of course it starts with hello world - but it shouldn't take a manual of byzantine scripts and dependencies to do it. This reeks of 'constant problems' in the platform - and this is before having to deal with Swift, which is a cool but fairly complex language - all before you can even focus on the problem one is trying to solve! I think sometimes we nerds lose sight of the fact that we're trying to build stuff. Sometimes I think we equate complexity with intelligence, or see some noble value in doing hard things. When I think we should consider ourselves more like carpenters, building things. It's not science, it's just building decks - we want tools that work. Anyhow, it's no slag on the author, it's pretty cool for him or her to have done this. My beef is with the nature of the complexity.
