The document discusses the importance of file organization for iOS apps and proposes two approaches. It describes how the author's previous company's codebase lacked clear organization, making it difficult for new engineers to understand. Well-organized file structures group code by architecture (e.g. models, APIs) or by application perspective (e.g. features, UI). The document concludes by advertising open engineering positions.

- 4. 04 When I joined GRUBHUB... – Code base looked daunting – Code reuse was not obvious – It was not obvious where to look to update / create new files – Searching for files required that I knew what I was looking for – Xcode group did not necessarily match the file system directory
- 5. 05 Why is file organization important? – Majority of development time is spent searching ○ Command+Shift+O ○ You need to know part of the filename to find anything, facilitated with prefix specific to our project – Easily identify resources for code reuse – Features or components were not always obvious – Takes time for new developers to ramp up
