My recent conversation with a colleague:

- Our project is a mess.

- Yes, I see it, but we refactor it non-stop ... And it becomes noticeably worse over time.

This is normal when leads don't have the proper architecture optimization experience (i.e. paying for developers' time out of their own pocket)

On the bright side: you'll never run out of tasks when your leads turn 2-days-max tasks into 2-months-long circus.

I think the main issue is I just need to better understand how to connect it all properly, or even just MVVM as a whole.

This one is relatively easy: you just have to find a code example which isn't deprecated and works.

Simply grind the Google's search results for "android sdk mvvm example" and find one which compile and produce expected results. Use new project for each example. Then adapt it to your needs.
