I find these kinds of near-journal-article-for-self fairly useless. If you think our stuff is boring where'd you leave intel/amd etc doing statistical process control in the domain of mother nature that's got the standard model in her favor? More boring? Less? Or dumb question?

Abstraction is a sort of entropy / Shannon / Kormogorov issue. So let's discuss it there not semi-liberal-arts school fogginess.

Folks let's please keep science in science. One day if QC gets commercial all these flowery articles will disappear. QC is math based. We'll need to deal or get left behind, and by then all this handwaving won't matter in the least.

Now, the other bad of software dev is that today's work is generously semi-formal at best in commercial settings. Not because CS is art, but because requirements gathering, human factors, corporate culture are strongly reactive in the software realm, where mother nature is directly absent.

Here we could help each other to understand management and management us to move this whole ediface along. And here less technical articles ala HBR work well.
