I can't wait until quantum computing lets us add a degree of simultaneity to fucking up. Fuck up in many ways... AT ONCE!

Quantum computing: giving humans the unprecedented ability to make every possible error at once

It will be fucked, not fucked, neither, and both... until we look. I feel bad for the poor bastard that has to look...

Internship in the future just got a whole lot bleaker.

It will not be certain if you have fucked up or not until you actually go to check.

But checking affects the outcome! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug

> I've long said something like "To err is human. To fuck up a million times in a second you need a computer."

This quote (paraphrased) actually dates all the way back to 1969:

> To err is human; to really foul things up requires a computer.

Yes, it is. I believe I added the concept of "fuckups per second", but my memory being what it is and the general creativity of the internet being what it is, I would not be surprised that it either wasn't original or I wasn't the first.

> "To err is human. To fuck up a million times in a second you need a computer."

If you made that up, I tip my hat off to you as payment for all my future uses of the phrase.
