In reality, since COVID, the coupons in Polish McD are so bad the app is almost useless. And the current version loads so sluggishly.
I haven't notice that, can you elaborate?
Currently all coupons at or below 10 PLN are coffee, and not even cappuccino or flat white - but the "kawa czarna" or "kawa z mlekiem" which is watered down.
Ick. That turned my stomach. Sure it's bad for end users that corporate mobile app development is a swamp. In this case it only affects the vendor who lost out on users and reputation. But cavalier, reckless engineering equally causes harm to the client device or end user - if only in wasted time. Given the audience here, I hope many would agree it's pitiful that developers are wasting their time building this junk.…
This is like the fifth article I've read about the McDonald's app not having any sort of server-side validation. How do they keep getting this wrong???
Is there anything you know about McDonalds as an entity that would lead you to believe they know about, or would prioritize, building a secure app? Honestly, it’s amazing it’s not worse!

This only works if everyone or the vast majority join unions. Otherwise, those who join will get penalised with lower offers or no offers at all.

Why would you want to continue working at such a place as a developer? It's not like it's hard to find another job as developer...
In 2025? Haven't you noticed the massive layoffs by the big companies. Check r/cscareerquestions and read the posts from seniors unable to find a job

They have money and want to make more money? This seems like a straightforward question to answer.

Then again, mobile apps are like this tend to be junior work, outsourced to software mills that just burn through juniors cranking out garbage assembled 10% of polyfills and 90% of advertising SDKs.
