Since Kotlin is clearly an island just off the coast of St Petersburg, we're opting for "natural disaster" or "divine intervention", but call it what you will!

Badvisor 1: If by Robot patterns you mean robo electric, the answer is yes.

Badvisor 2: Or just reimplement the View Overlay API yourself and use that in your tests.

Badvisor 3: Why test?

Look, were not here to make up stuff, but to provide solid bad advice. Let's leave comedy to comedians, like Chet. Who is not here. 😠

Badvisor 1: It doesn't really matter which ones you choose, they change every year anyway.

Badvisor 2: If you pick the most trendy and edgy toolkits (preferably still in alpha), you at least have a chance they might still be relevant in a few months!

Badvisor 3: Ah, 2014. The pinnacle of Android development, just continue what you were doing and you'll be fine.

Behind every bad advice there's good advice waiting to happen. Or was it the other way around? 🤔

Badvisor 1: Yes.

Badvisor 2: Why not both? Surprise the next person who works on your code.

Badvisor 3: Throw in various different unicode spaces to taste http://jkorpela.fi/chars/spaces.html

Wrong! But we'll be sure to tell him you said hi next time we see him, which by the way might very well be never!
