The Google Willow thing Yesterday I arrived in Santa Clara for the Q2B (Quantum 2 Business) conference, which starts this morning, and where I’ll be speaking Thursday on “Quantum Algorithms in 2024: How Should…

I occasionally dip into the world of QC, but the Google Willow announcement got my attention. While progress is being made on decoherence and scale - we essentially have a super-computer who's results must be verified somehow. The problem is we don't have computers powerful enough.

if it's not on Strava then it didn't happen :)

I'm hoping to take it for a quick spin in the next few days. The link is a referral and will hopefully bump me up in the waitlist.

Index | Modern Planning for Product Management The powerful product planning and discovery tool, built for Product Managers on Linear. The best way to collect ideas, capture feedback, and build roadmaps.

I've been evaluation Product Management tools for the last few years and Index recently came up - native integration with Linear (new favorite issue tracker) and the clean simple look are appealing.

Best team in the world right now ?

They need some kind of plan

don’t put ideas into his head !

Indeed - routinely pushing apps at scale is maybe only 20% about coding.

DORA Report 2024 – A Look at Throughput and Stability Google recently released the 2024 Accelerate State of DevOps (DORA) report, and there were some holy shit moments in those 120 pages. Or–to phrase it more professionally–this year’s report has some…

4/5 As they stand, I think coding assistants are great for reducing the learning curve (new language, framework, etc.) but they are less useful with design and structure of code.

3/5 On a personal note - I’m only an occasional hacker but spent much of yesterday fixing and refactoring some Python for a data analysis project - I would be literally useless if it wasn’t for coding assistance. But I’m really not representative of the DORA report cohorts.

2/5 The hypothesis is that coding is not a bottleneck to software delivery, so optimizing that has no gains and there may even be a drop in productivity due to more rework required.

1/5 Google’s 2024 DORA State of DevOps was on my reading list this weekend but instead I decided to read Rachel Stephens’ writeup over on the RedMonk blog. The most interesting takeaway this year is that CoPilots have become established in the SDLC but we’re not seeing gains in productivity.

First attempt at making (individual) Beef Wellington - they came out well and very tasty but the pastry to steak ratio was a little high - that wouldn’t be an issue with a full tenderloin but it was just the two of us for Thanksgiving.

I didn’t even realize Mbappe was on the pitch until 20 mins into the game - he barely touched the ball
