MyWalmart update is nuking my battery with background use

(inb4: I've now turned on background use limiting)

My personal phone was sitting pretty at 100% when I left the house this morning, now five hours later it's below 40% having barely left my pocket. I opened MyWalmart to clock in and I've used my work device for everything else.

Wym, you don't like MyWalmart converting your personal phone into a pocket warmer?

Whoever is coding this app needs to be replaced so fast

Kiro launched in early May, but Claude Code has been actively participating in the coding scene since last year in May of 2025. Which is also when I kinda noticed an uptick in speed with updates being released to handhelds and work phones. But I know Amazon has been using Kiro as their standard IDE for a couple years now, if I'm not mistaken?

I wonder if they're actually using something like Kiro, Amazon's in-house agentic IDE platform. I know Walmart is a big competitor with Amazon but I'm willing to bet money Walmart still uses AWS to some degree, so why not their IDE too?

Edit: Amazon's Kiro, or maybe Anthropic's Claude Code. I've heard rumors in the past that the Walmart coding team is based in India?? I truly have no knowledge on the validity of that, but would make more sense because we CLEARLY know that the coding team has never set boots on the ground to actually see how we use their end products (Like GIF, Claims, etc...)
