Home Depot website is horrendously slow. Open dev tools and see how much c*ap it loads. I can't login to my account in Firefox. I have to use Vivaldi. App is buggy too. And yes, please add tap to pay. Walmart and Home Depot are the 2 places I have to bring my cards to.

I had to do this at a couple of logistics companies. I even got certified to drive a fork lift while doing “cross training” at a warehouse. The warehouse worker who sat in my programmer cubicle for two weeks did not learn how to program.

I see a lot of value in programmers learning how their code gets used by eating their dog food alongside actual users. When I started my career in the late ‘70s programming didn’t usually exist as a separate business activity. It got embedded in business units — accounting, logistics, marketing, etc. I think that worked out better for everyone a lot of the time.

Please add tap to pay and in person checkout via the homedepot app.

Also the homedepot ios app is supper buggy and the search function is terrible.
