Why are skills like prompt engineering and AI model tuning becoming essential for developers today?


Developers aren’t just writing code anymore; they're guiding intelligent systems and shaping how AI contributes to their work. With prompt engineering, they learn how to ask AI exactly what they need by crafting clear, context-aware instructions. AI model tuning lets them refine the AI’s behavior to better fit real-world tasks and product goals. Together, these skills free developers from repetitive work and empower them to focus on creative problem solving, refining user experiences, and innovating at a higher level all while feeling more productive and fulfilled on the job.

Why is replacing broad ZIP-code zones with pixel-level mapping more effective for delivery coverage?

Using pixel-perfect mapping dividing delivery areas into hexagonal grid “tiles” instead of broad ZIP zones gives Walmart much finer control over routes. Each hexagon is packed with real-time data (drive times, store capacity, demand), allowing smarter coverage. This method fills the gaps left by ZIP code-based mapping and lets stores tailor delivery zones accurately, expanding reach and improving customer service.
