Async Image Routine

Make image loading predictable with a repeated skeleton.

Use AsyncImage with placeholder and success states.

Repeat with a different image size each time.

Notice how placeholder sizing affects layout stability.

This drill prevents layout jumps in lists.

A consistent image routine saves hours later.

Repetition locks in the pattern.

Cache the image and compare load times on repeat.

Set a fixed aspect ratio to prevent layout jumps.

Try the repetition loop

Pick a SwiftUI concept and write it 50 times. Feel the pattern lock in.
