What is a dispatcher roulette?

Answer from AI

Dispatcher Roulette is an anti-pattern in Kotlin programming that occurs when multiple dispatchers are used in different parts of a coroutine, especially when switching between them in loops or recursive calls. This leads to unpredictable behavior, reduced performance due to context switching overhead, and increased debugging difficulty. It is better to stick to a single, most suitable dispatcher for the entire coroutine.
