Philosophy student/artist with broad web development / full stack / hosting experience.
Studied / collaborated on ML research projects in the past, but no professional work there yet.
Great with copywriting, documentation, testing/debugging, business case studies, applied epistemology.
Unexpectedly became totally disabled while working an interim job to fund art projects,
looking for absolutely any remote positions / non-manual-labor to forestall immediate homelessness.
Hit me up for detailed resume, social media, samples of work, or my organic chemistry / traditional illustration portfolio.
References to hiring processes that lean on coding samples, objective measures of programming skill, or are accomodating to non-traditional backgrounds would be really appreciated!
Substitutions are omnipresent in my experience, but I view that as a symptom of almost all stores having really profoundly bad inventory tracking (do the developers for the web platform even know whether they have any items on the shelf at all?) so even with ordinary infrastructure hiccups I'd expect there to never be completely filled orders.
I don't know too much about the way the restocking priorities are established, but it appears to be totally ad hoc and at the behest of the shift worker on the line at the moment your order us started from what I've seen.
The stores would need to have inventory systems fine grained enough to know that there are high margin items in stock to be swapped in to implement this kind of malicious action plan, but I think most stores (that aren't Walmart) don't even have their inventory spatially mapped at all, let alone multiple times per day to actively dump target items.
Seems like a bold prediction that most (maybe any?) grocery stores have the level of corporate organization or even level of education to even consider a "secret order substitution to prole cart-pushers who will then have to answer customer service calls asking why their order was amended to add a more expensive item".
Someone down the line has to actually act out the 'evil algorithm', and will then have to actually interact with the aggrieved customers.
In a third party delivery service I imagine it would be trivially easy to get the line workers to betray the customer / rest of the organization, but there are also none of the incentives to, for example, try to dump low velocity items through deliberate substitution errors.
