Deep Engineering #59: Lieven De Cock on C++ Coroutines as a Build-It-Yourself Kit
The promise type, the coroutine handle, and why the boilerplate belongs in a library rather than your codebase
Building a C++ Coroutine by Hand, and Why You Probably Should Not
Lieven De Cock builds three C++20 coroutines from scratch, from the promise type and coroutine handle up to Boost.Asio, and explains why std::generator and library support should do most of this work for you.
Deep Engineering #58: Sebastian Hassinger on Where Quantum Progress is Real
On why qubit counts measure register size rather than capability, what code distance reveals that a headline number hides, and where quantum computing delivers first.
Materials Science Gets Real Value From Quantum Before Anything Else
Why materials science and small molecule chemistry reach real quantum value first, what higher fidelity simulation changes for drug discovery, and why optimization and cryptography wait.
Eighty Years of Boolean Thinking Is the Real Barrier to Quantum Adoption
Why building quantum intuition inside an engineering organization takes years, what the JPMorgan research model gets right, and where to put effort before the hardware matures.
Quantum Computing Beyond the Hype with Sebastian Hassinger
How to tell genuine quantum progress from hype, why qubit count misleads, where the technology delivers value first, and how a classical developer starts.
Python Developers Can Learn Quantum Computing by Fixing Bugs
How a working software developer gets into quantum computing through Python SDKs like Qiskit and Braket, open source contribution, and error mitigation frameworks.
Deep Engineering #57: Rory Preddy on Cutting Agent Costs Without Ranking Engineers
Rory Preddy of Microsoft and GitHub argues cost discipline belongs in agent profiles and per-session spend caps, not in per-engineer token leaderboards.
I burned 51 million tokens on one merge conflict, and the model was not the problem
Rory Preddy on why agent bills climb while token prices fall, and the caching, compaction, routing and loop controls that cut spend in production
