We are Software Engineers thanks to this woman. Godspeed Ms Hamilton. We owe you a lot.

Resueno mucho con todo lo que suele decir @eferro.net En mi caso, he tenido 2 momentos "wow!", el segundo hace 1 semana. Me posiciono en el lado optimista, pero me da vértigo. youtu.be/uAYBlF2atqE?...

Que buena noticia, Edu. Lo pongo en mi lista :)

Estuve hace un par de semanas escuchando a Klangkuenstker (Schranz) en directo (su gira Outworld). Nada de remember, todo fresquito y hasta arriba de gente de todas las generaciones. Y no es una música fácil de escuchar! Hay esperanza :)

I guess everyone is moving to in-person interviews for junior/mid roles these days? Like online interviews are very broken, aren't they? Anyway, I never trusted IT interview process worked well.

In Quantum Computing we do a lot of statistical assertions (checking expected distribution shapes within some variance). A lot of property testing for the invariants too. In the same way we don't use QComputers to perform sums, I still think there's a lot of room for deterministic computation :)

I always try to avoid the defensive-triggering words (Agile and Lean especially). But I can feel you. As @eferro.net pointed out in a recent post: Taylorism is way too embedded in corporate culture. Being stressed and occupied all the time doesn't give much space for people to explore alternatives.

Edu is such a great source of invaluable information on "modern" software engineering. I've been trying to convince my organization about this specific problem: Building teams instead of groups of individuals.

My experience so far is that many people believe they are way more productive on their own, than mobing. Of course, they think productivity is about how many PRs they can create per unit of time. And this is what individual Performance Reviews culture rewards, so I cannot blame them.

Juan Gomez @thelongor.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

What do you think is the perfect size for a software development team? My take: it's impossible to beat the efficiency of a 3 team person doing Team (Mob) Programming.

Juan Gomez @thelongor.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

I guess the declarative nature of functional programming makes it perfect to address complex problems by stating intention. So I would say it helps, but nothing solves complexity. Is by definition not solvable :)

Juan Gomez @thelongor.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

There's a fundamentally wrong message being sent about this new thing we call Vibe Coding: Building Software is now a reach of everyone. No, we are still very far away from this, but on the other hand, there are coders who believe this is not adding any value, this is also utterly wrong.

Juan Gomez @thelongor.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

What I meant is the economic reality of funding such a complex area (Quantum Computing). This may incentive some players to be in the game of disguising modest scientific advance as major breakthroughs in order to survive. But again, I don't think this specifically is the case.

I was just discussing this with @dulwichquantum.bsky.social :) My point: bsky.app/profile/thel...

Juan Gomez @thelongor.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

I’m not a scientist, so I can’t speak for them. But the economic reality of something on the scale of quantum computing requires both incentives to be taken into account. The real problem arises when there’s no meaningful contribution to knowledge. I don't think this is the case :)

Juan Gomez @thelongor.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

For this specific announcement, I don't think the reaction of the market was framed in any particular strategy. I genuinely believe there's scientific motivations behind this collaboration. The results are impressive, though far from conclusive. Anyway, I agree that this is not always the case.

Juan Gomez @thelongor.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

What if quantum discord is actually a driving factor for the improvements? No matter what, I strongly believe this is a good lead and open up the exploration in a direction we never thought before, right? Maybe we can take advantage of quantum noise today and make NISQ devices widely useful?

Juan Gomez @thelongor.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

... these use-cases. Otherwise the experiment would have been comparing against these techniques (?). Anyway, there are still a lot of unanswered questions yet! They switch entanglement for idle ops, and improvements remain untoched. Is the accidental entanglement coming from noise playing a role?

Juan Gomez @thelongor.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

So the paper doesn't explore this. They tried introducing some form of simulated quantum noise (Kraus or Lindblad I guess) without any improvement. ML practitioners usually inject classical noise to improve fitting, pattern recognition, etc. But somehow doesn't seem to be a common practice for ...

@davidbonilla.bsky.social pues me ha gustado especialmente la bonilista de esta semana. Es un tema muy recurrido entre amigos y cercanos: La deficiente (inexistente) educación financiera que tenemos muchos de nosotros y lo poco motivados que parecen los responsables de corregirlo 🤔

Ok, it's been a while since I talked about what we are doing at my organization, but I'm SO excited about what we have released these days: The roadmap to get a real Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer (FTQC). A series of "FTQC for Muggles" is coming....

Realmente esto siempre ha sido así. Supongo que depende mucho de con quién te topes en la aduana. Si vas para un meeting/all-hands no debería haber problema... Pero si les dices que vas por razones de trabajo, lo pueden mal interpretar (me pasó)

Existe todavía mucha gente que piensa que productividad es escribir líneas de código y revisar PRs. Outcome vs Output como dice @islomar.bsky.social . Managers y ICs! Y cambiar esa forma de pensar es una gesta digna de epopeya.
