No, you should use autorelease where it makes sense - and you have
to spend whatever time you need to learn what it is that makes
sense! Memory management is important for programmers, and you need
to learning about how it works in Cocoa / ObjC. It's not that
difficult, just a handful of methods and concepts, and there is a
lot of good documentation available, both from Apple and from third
parties.
My point is that you shouldn't expect to get away with finding some
really easy rule from this thread, and then be able to forget about
learning the rest / all of it. This is one of the things that you
should try to get to know better than that!
And to follow up on my own reply, I don't mean to say that all Cocoa
developers needs to get down to the metal and understand all the
nitty-gritty details of how this works at the lowest level. Cocoa is
nice in that way, it lets you focus on object relationships and high
level designs to a large extent. I think that you can take that
approach also to learning about Cocoa memory management. Think about
it more in terms of object ownership than anything else.
