10 Things in Tech: Software’s final chapter, $1,000 to scroll TikTok for 10 hours, and Tesla’s first-ever ad
It's Tech Tuesday, buds. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I'm back home in San Diego (woah) after visiting New York. Big thanks to my brilliant colleagues Michael Cogley and Lara O'Reilly for writing the newsletter while I was out.
Although I didn't end up watching a second movie yet, I spent a bit of time testing different AI tools like ChatGPT.
My careers-connoisseur colleague Rebecca Knight has also been doing that — remember her fun story on AI creating headshots for her? Most recently, Rebecca asked ChatGPT to help polish her resume. And she documented every step of the way in her latest story here.
Before I go play with more AI tools, let's dive into today's tech.

1. Career opportunity, the one that never knocks: Job hunting is really weird right now. Economic instability. "Ghost jobs." Generative AI in the workplace. These unprecedented curveballs are making job hunting even tougher than normal.
Plus, students and young engineers are pretty fed up with Big Tech. Fewer students are studying engineering or computer science. And recent grads no longer see Big Tech as a viable career launcher.
My colleague Kali Hays looked into how early-career techies are searching for jobs outside the industry. One expert even told her that "it's the worst time to be a junior engineer since 2000."
Meanwhile, Adrienne Matei writes for Insider that the job search is uniquely miserable right now. And she examines the different factors contributing to the agony.
Dive into the hiring hardships here.

2. A new era — and possibly "final chapter" — for software. People and AI will likely start working together to create software. Once it's released, people and AI can work together to build tools — or even more software — within it. More on software's final form here.

The new direction of the Pocket Books owners helped lead to another year of growth for independent sellers, with membership in the American Booksellers Association reaching its highest levels in more than 20 years.

AP FinanceClimate activists smear themselves with mud to evoke flooding in Italy
A pair of bare-chested protesters smeared themselves with mud outside the Senate building in Rome on Tuesday to protest fossil fuel use and remind people of the dangers of flooding linked to climate change. Since last year, an activist group called Last Generation has staged numerous attention-grabbing events in Italy, including pouring black liquid in the Trevi Fountain in Rome and gluing themselves to the glass protecting the Botticelli masterpiece "Spring” in the Uffizi Galleries in Florence, to highlight the harm that fossil fuels cause to the environment and its role in global warming. The activists used mud to remind people of last week’s severe flooding in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, where 21 rivers overran their banks and hundreds of mudslides were triggered by a heavy concentration of downpours on rain-parched land.
