Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

HN commenters link hollance.com posts on iOS development: one on app architecture, arguing view controllers should take their data through initializers rather than a singleton or app delegate, and one on freelance iPhone developer work.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. This article echoes the same idea (instead of big singleton, view controllers should accept the data they require in their initializer (constructor)) and gives some reasons why to do it this way: http://www.hollance.com/2012/02/dont-abuse-the-app-delegate/
