Multiple weak call
Wrong:
__weak id obj;
dispatch_async(queue, ^() {
[obj doSomething];
[obj doSomethingElse]; <- can turn to nil at any point, should store in strong at beggining of block
[obj doSomethingElse2];
});
Ok:

Compare the date parsing performance of NSDateFormatter against SQLite's date parser for parsing an iOS 8601 date.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "sqlite3.h"
typedef int64_t timestamp;
NSUInteger randomNumberInRange(NSUInteger start, NSUInteger end);
// Create a sample date using the ISO-8601 format.
// 2013-04-23T16:29:05Z
NSString* generateSampleDate();

Mark designated initializer at compile time
#define MSDesignatedInitializer(__SEL__) __attribute__((unavailable("Invoke the designated initializer `" # __SEL__ "` instead.")))
// Sample usage:
- (instancetype)initWithObject:(id)object;
- (instancetype)init MSDesignatedInitializer(initWithObject:); // <- This even gets auto-complete.
// Now calling init on this class would throw a warning.

Look at objective-C messages being sent in an application running in the simulator. "Interesting" symbols (configured in the first BEGIN block, or one provided on the command line) will get stack traces dumped. "ignored" symbols are not logged.
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
/* Run like:
% sudo csh
# ./spy.d $PROCESS_ID [$INTERESTING_PROBEPROV]
Prints a line of dashes every 5 seconds to delineate different experiments.
*/

Set symbol breakpoint on objc_msgSend then setup this debug command to log all methods called in iOS Simulator. If you want to do device debugging change esp+4 register to r0, esp+8 to r1 Found long ago somewhere on stackoverflow.
expr -- (void)printf("[%s, %s]\n",(char *) object_getClassName(*(long*)($esp+4)), (char *) *(long *)($esp+8) )
