Forcing you to read through your 500 line view controller does have the side effect of you learning a bunch of other valuable things and strengthening your mental model of the problem. Maybe all unrelated to fixing your actual problem ofc, but also maybe helpful in the long run.

Or maybe not helpful in the long run, I feel like AI is the most magical when used on things that you can completely abstract away and say as long as it works, I don't care what's in it. Especially libraries where you don't want to read their documentation or develop that mental model of what it does. For your own view, idk it's still helpful when AI points out why it's not working, but more of a balance vs working on it yourself to understand it too.

Well, the old Java model, where you have dozens of small files, for even the simplest applications, may be better for humans, but it's difficult to feed that to an LLM prompt. With the way I work, I can literally copy and paste. My files aren't so big, that they choke the server, but they are big enough to encompass the whole domain. I use SwiftLint to keep my files from getting too massive, but I also like to keep things that are logically connected, together.

Judge for yourself.

Here's the file I am working on: [0].

The issue was in this initializer: [1]. In particular, this line was missing: [2]. I had switched to using a UIButton as a custom view, so the callback only got the button, instead of the container UIBarButtonItem. I needed to propagate the tag into the button.
