Visual Studio Magazine reports on two new reports on language and technology usage that Visual Basic is a top in-demand programming language in 2021, above C#.

I had completely forgotten about the Option Infer feature in Visual Basic, but noticed it the other day when I was checking some other settings.

This article isn’t quite as bad as the title, Programming jobs for losers — and how to escape them | InfoWorld, would suggest. It is certainly true that some programming jobs (just like all jobs) are more fun and engaging than others. That being said, it is unfortunate that the article approached this by calling the programmers in these jobs “losers”.

Today, in stupid programmer tricks, I updated my copy of Xcode on the Mac because Apple helpfully told me there was an update. Unfortunately, suddenly I was having trouble compiling iOS applications because I wasn’t referencing the correct iOS SDK. I wanted to go back to the previous version, but I couldn’t find the download. Now suddenly this is all working again (maybe I just needed a Mac and/or a Windows reboot?) but now I also discovered where previous versions of Xcode can be found, so I’m documenting it so that I can find it again.
