Outlets: strong! or weak?

This technical article analyzes the common pattern of declaring @IBOutlet properties in Swift with Interface Builder. It critiques the one-size-fits-all approach of using 'weak var outlet: UILabel!' and proposes a more nuanced strategy. The author, referencing practices at Lyft, provides three clear rules for choosing between strong/weak and optional/implicitly unwrapped optional based on the view's lifecycle and guarantees, improving memory management and code safety.
