Am I the only one who doesn’t like infinite scrolling?
I agree. I’d rather click “load more results” once in a while than rage as I struggle to get to something in the footer I need to click on.
The coupon limit is annoying and not something enforced by all stores. For example Albertsons family stores are unlimited as are dollar general and rite aid. I wrote a chrome extension to clip all the coupons from major retailers across the us. Had to implement logic for places like Kroger that enforce arbitrary limits. It was also an interesting exercise because I noticed a few independent stores that seem to have w…
For now. That will probably change if the deal for Kroger to purchase them goes through. It's getting more and more difficult to avoid shopping at a Kroger store.

Possibly relevant, but they seem to have a hard time hiring and retaining talent. There's been a consistent player in my LinkedIn inbox from 2018 to present (even post-ZIRP) and that's Kroger engineering recruiters.
Do you really think that SWE grads are lining up to work at Kroger?

Thanks for the heads up. They modified their UI to use "Apply" when previously it was "Save Offer". I have pushed an update. Usually takes google a couple days to approve. Will be v1.0.2.0

SWE grads are turning down low pay and low potential, it's that simple.
And quite frankly, what Kroger is offering would have been considered a decent, even good, starting salary before the COVID tech hiring froth warped tech employees' salary expectations.

Instacart's markup is insane, it's like DoorDash levels of extraction for some hitherto unexplained value they allege to provide.
I mean, they are popular, right? Someone must be deriving value or else so many people wouldn't be using Instacart.
