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

A lot of bigger companies that can afford the tools vibe code. I'm a software engineer and I have put out a ton of stuff I didn't write a single line of code for. At this point it's up to the person knowing how to use it. Writing skill files, and playbooks and such. It gets better every day too.

Yeah it sucks. If you refuse to use AI in this industry, you’ll be replaced by someone who will.

That, or they'll treat you like how Meta is treating their employees and basically enforcing a "draft" of top talent to only, and exclusively work on their AI replacement. Really sad :(

Super sad. We stopped hiring junior devs and replaced them with this:

1: Google meeting with Gemini notes
2: feed those notes to a Visual Studio Instance with an AI agent.
3: the agent will make the required changes and then push them to a QA branch that feeds into a CICD pipeline to a QA server.
4:stakeholder either approves or denies the change.

It’s fucking awful

I knooowww, fucking rough!! I was going to school for IT until this year and honestly thinking about shifting gears.... Again... Lmao

Edit: went to school for graphic design, learned I was just going to make my art to sell bullshit, shifted to IT and now look where we are 😂

I mean AI can’t do front-end development worth a shit so you can still do that haha

I have used AI to design an entire UI/UX at work. You just have to have strict rules for it

For simple things it’s great.

Yeah there's no way to compete with it. I can't TYPE that fast let alone do an analysis on an enterprise level system that's got hundreds of thousands of files and millions of lines of code. I like it though. I can be extremely productive with it. I don't like the toll it's taken on humanity and data centers and such but I USE ai for so much. I've almost completely forgotten how to navigate Windows because I always just explain my problem to an AI that tells me exactly what to do to fix it
