When should you avoid using outlet installation in the interface?

Answer from AI
Using IBOutlet in the interface should be avoided in the following cases:
- When the connection to the interface element is not needed constantly, but only for temporary operations — it is better to use programmatic creation of elements.
- If the interface element is created dynamically and does not exist in the storyboard or xib.
- To improve the modularity and testability of the code — excessive use of IBOutlet can lead to tight coupling of the code with the interface.
For example, if you create table cells programmatically, it is better not to use IBOutlet, but to configure elements in code to avoid errors and increase flexibility.
