xcode is broken on intel mac with latest OS and latest App store update

After a long time I decided to update to latest macos Tahoe 26.5 on my 2019 16 inch intel mac and then went to app store and update xcode. After that xcode never starts, it asks do i want to install components to which i say yes, it installs and then when i open xcode again it asks again do i want to install components and this goes in an infinite loop.

Occasionally it also crashes but never fully opens. How did apple push such buggy xcode update to app store? Anyone else facing this and what is the solution?

Would you go back to pre AI era now if that was possible?

If there was a magic wand that can take us all back to pre AI era

>which means software development jobs were still considered high skilled needing time/skills/seniority and companies used to hire x devs instead of much lower devs now (because 1 dev + AI = more productive so less need to hire more)

Would you take it? or you would prefer to still have LLMs taking over the way they have already to a point that companies are hiring less, junior roles are evaporating at a rapid rates and seniors (these roles have also reducing in head count) are addicted to AI tools to a point that without them many are struggling to work and who know how the tech scene would look like in next 2 years let alone 5 years.

Why or why not?

Remix changed the direction yet again, this time it is not even a react framework anymore

So Remix went from being an alternative to Next.js in React ecosystem, to merging Remix.js into React router 7 (after shopify aquisition) and now it is not even a react framework anymore.

Honestly with this much instability and constant change of completely incompatible directions, why would anyone want to use Remix and what assurance they have that in next 6 months they are not going to change remix direction yet again.

The whole remix framework is so unstable with their vision, that it is why people have javascript libraries fatigue. Even in 2026 frameworks as mainstream as Remix can't make their mind on their identity and are volatile. I feel bad for companies and teams who built massive products on Remix initially simply because they didn't want to use Next.js

I am a fan of CSR SPA and not spending money on servers just to do SSRs that CSR apps can do (not saying this is what everyone should do, just my preference given I don't want a server and don't have a usecase in any team I have worked so far) but, say what you want about Next.js, despite volatility in their major version upgrades and backwards incompatibility often, they atleast stayed put with their SSR identity. Remix on the other hand has become completely unrecognisable and completely screwed their userbase in backwards incompatible way.

Curious to know the thoughts of the community.
