I recently had a similar experience updating an old iphone app that was written in Swift 2. I had to use an old 2009 iMac with a copy of Xcode 8 to migrate to Swift 3, then a 2016 MacBook Pro with Xcode 10 to migrate to Swift 4. Then I coul

It's not that hard. I try to spend 10 minutes a day reading some sort of technical book. Just set a timer and do it. I don't always get around to it. Here's a list of the various tech books I've read cover to cover over
