A Quantum Odyssey into Software’s Future
By Nigel Dsouza
Once upon a time, computing was simple. Bits were the bricks of our digit...

Being an old school deterministic 1s and 0s programmer guy, my mind still boggles with the concepts and realm of possibilities with quantum computing. Nigel's got me though with the eloquent take around "coding for the possibilities" rather than the trad "coding for the certainties"!
Visionary article Nigel. Quantum computing will indeed open up a new set of possiblities and challenges for software engineers. Your statement "The engineer of tomorrow won’t just code for logic. They’ll code for possibility." clearly captures the paradigm shift that is coming
Nigel insightfully employs the concept of quantum mechanics as a metaphor to illuminate the challenges and potential of software engineering in the face of emerging technologies. He envisions a future where software developers embrace a more fluid mindset, shifting away from rigid structures towards building interconnected systems that dynamically respond to the environment, much like quantum systems behave. Interesting read!
A beautifully take on the unseen forces shaping our digital world. Legacy systems and hidden dependencies truly are the dark matter holding technology together. In the quantum future, coding won’t just be about logic—it’ll be about embracing and engineering uncertainty.
The engineer of tomorrow won’t just write code — they’ll architect possibility from ambiguity.
They’ll harness the dark matter of code to build systems that are not just functional, but resilient, adaptive, and profoundly human.
Great read, Nigel. I really appreciated how you tied together complex concepts like DevOps and quantum computing in such an engaging and accessible way. The metaphors were thoughtful and helped bring a fresh perspective to familiar challenges. Thanks for sharing!
pretty cool take tbh - always makes me wonder if learning to live with uncertainty is actually where real progress comes from
Great going Nigel. Keep the articles comming
Nice article!
Dark matter from cosmology to code and systems!! This is really thinking outside the box Nigel!! And I don't mean the box that contains Schrodinger's cat either!!!
Brilliant parallels between CICD and quantum computing!
Love your perspectives Nigel!!
quantum annealing and coding for possibility is the need of the Universe!!
Very interesting!
Inspiring!
Nice one
An interesting read!
Nice article Nigel 👍
pretty cool thinking about how much unknowns we just accept now tbh, you think not knowing all the answers is actually what keeps it fun
Great read! Keep them coming!
Really enjoyed reading this🙌
Thought provoking! Who would have thought that the engineer of tomorrow now code for possibility and not just for logic.
Interesting thought provoking read.
Really liked the concept of “coding for the possibilities”. Makes writing code sound like opening a window into the mind, revealing the engineer’s creative connectome.
