Actually this is most common in software development industry; they think that by diving into code directly this would save a lot of time and make them deliver earlier.

As iOS Software Engineer, i’ve been always looking to have a checklist to check against my code.Most of Software Engineers are usually interested in writing clean code that is working fine, meeting requirements and also easy to understand and maintain. So i thought about creating a basic iOS checklist and let the iOS developers community enhance it so we can have a great checklist common for all iOS Apps. …
