It’s a small c in Xcode…

Also I wonder why they never pronounced it “Ten-Code” (after all “Mac OS X” was “Mac oh-ess Ten”)
Apple likes to write ten as the roman numeral X - that does not mean all uses of the letter X are the number 10.
For that matter it should’ve been renamed 11code alongside the release of macOS 11!
Whoever flagged my adjacent comment, “applaud” means praise. I applaud the person who downvoted my bad joke. I was sincerely agreeing with the downvote of my own comment, not objecting to the downvote. I will however object to being moderated for agreeing with being moderated.

Oh for fuck sake
I’ve been developing with Xcode since at least 2005 and I still have, for some reason, never gotten used to this. It’s only autocorrect that saves me, I always instinctively type it with a capital C. Weird.
Yes, can we get the title updated to fix my twitching eye?
Oh, the humanity.
