A little unfair on this harmless pretty little bird, however....
The snipe has probably been coding (but not block coding) for over thirty years, thus suffers from a severe lacking in social skills, knows everything about everything, and simply has to have the last word, .....before going off in a huff. The snipe is fun to "bait" if you have the time and energy, but for the unsuspecting, best left well alone.
for those of us that think throwing everything into the "bowl" will make it easier to complete the work (providing/including lengthy over-complicated blocks that are either unnecessary or unwanted)
For those of us who, for whatever inexplicable reason, are incapable of starting their own topic, or asking their query on an existing topic of their subject after searching the community, appear to pick a random topic from the latest view, and ask their unrelated question there....
Hello friends, new here, I am learning to program. I just discovered App Inventer and I like it a lot. My app doesn't work can you fix it? Thank you. Good Community. Sorry for my English.
This behavior is named after an old device that lets kids draw on their TV screens, in the expectation that they were affecting the show.

Take a small or even non-existent issue within AppInventor, make some wild uninformed assumptions as to why this makes your project non-functioning, and give judgement that AppInventor is just no good. This is also after having not bothered to read the documentation, search the community for similar situations, or do any debugging / creating trial projects to replicate the issue. Refuse to listen or accept any answers or suggestions to overcome the small/non-existent issue.
Named after the abandoned Turkish village of Kayaköy.

For the developer that just keeps throwing "found or made up" blocks and code at their project in the hope that one of them will stick - and possibly work.
