a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Storyboard Segues initially seem like a pretty cool way to construct interfaces using minimal glue code. But actually, ordinary nibs already support this, and in a much more flexible way.

Certainly, a Storyboard lets you bind a button action up to display a view controller with no code, but in practice you will usually want to pass some data to the new controller, depending on which button you used to get there, and this means implementing the -prepareForSegue:sender: method, which rapidly becomes a giant if/elseif statement of doom, negating most of the benefit of the codeless segue:

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"modalSegue"])
    {
        ModalViewController *controller = (ModalViewController *)segue.destination;

controller.someProperty = someValue;
