In the project I’m currently developing (a rewrite of an old timer app), I wanted to implement drag-and-drop icons, but didn’t have much experience with UICollectionView, which is one of the iOS technologies that displays a matrix of elements.

I asked ChatGPT for help, and it was quite helpful.

However, its code was really verbose, and fairly “messy.” Even though it worked, it didn’t work well.

I used it as guidance for training myself in the tech, and developed an approach that is far better. I had to learn the tech, and refactored the code example in a pretty major way.

Maybe some of the other tools are better, but I haven’t gotten any code that I would even consider shipping; pretty much exactly like my experience with Stack Overflow, for years.
