I’m an unemployed software developer who is skeptical of AI. Can I still find a job in tech?
THE SO WHAT
Hiring markets are quietly drawing a line between ‘AI-literate’ and ‘AI-skeptical’ engineers. If you’re building or leading teams, you don’t need AI evangelists — but you do need developers willing to treat AI as part of the toolchain, or you’ll be fighting the tide on velocity and expectations.

Tech & InnovationTanger CEO Yalof on Retail Traffic, Holiday Sales Outlook and AI
Outlet and experiential retail are holding traffic, and operators are starting to talk about AI in the same breath as events like the World Cup — as a lever on both demand and margin. If you run physical locations, the bar is moving from "AI in HQ analytics" to AI-augmented merchandising, staffing, and dynamic offers at the store level before the holiday cycle locks.
Tech & InnovationThe best SSD deals at Amazon this weekend: Live deals on Samsung, Lexar, Kingston, and more
Cheap SSD capacity is a quiet enabler for local AI experimentation, media workflows, and faster dev machines. If you're compute-constrained but storage-light, this is a low-friction week to upgrade edge and developer hardware without touching your cloud budget.
Tech & InnovationNew Mexico judge calls Meta a 'public nuisance' that's like a factory emitting 'noxious pollution' in record $567 million fine — and even Meta's own attorneys agree
