Question
An AI wrote this SwiftUI image thumbnail that downsamples a large photo before display. It works, but scrolling a grid of these stutters badly and the watchdog occasionally kills the app on launch when many cells appear at once. What's wrong and how would you fix it?
struct Thumb: View { let url: URL var body: some View { let data = try! Data(contentsOf: url) // sync download/disk read let img = downsample(data, to: CGSize(width: 100, height: 100)) return Image(uiImage: img).resizable() }}What a strong answer looks like
Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.
