I think they’re hand assembling code at this stage of the game :-) ... anything higher level than the equivalent of “set this bank of switches and push a button to load” is still a few years away.

Ok, that might be a bit *too* low level, but I’d be surprised if they actually compile programs for this machine :-) .

That being said, programmers better learn how to think parallel :-).

That’s the very heart of the quantum advantage. But some algorithms aren’t amenable to parallelization. The average script kiddy that never took a math class won’t know where to see this, so there will be huge errors for years. Oh well, more of the same.
