Writing Code for Humans, Not Computers
summary
Claim: spending extra time on readable code cuts future work because engineers spend 10:1 reading vs writing. Concrete moves: add a concise README that maps app flows, organize Xcode groups to mirror UI timelines, treat view controllers as packages and inject external dependencies, break screens into child controllers or cell controllers, implement use cases as NSOperation use cases for reuse and testability, and refactor examples like keyboard handling into a KeyboardAnimation type and a UIView extension to reduce nesting and make animations predictable.
