Software News Roundup (with No AI news! (sorta))

This week Mike and Erik committed to discussing the non-AI news out there in the software world. There's a lot of non-AI stuff going almost undiscussed and so our hosts each brought three news stories they found interesting to the podcast and then Erik includes a bonus one about AI which completely messes up the whole premise of the episode.

Stuff we discussed

• “Inside Crowdstrike's Deployment Process” 
• “The graying open source community needs fresh blood”
• "Quantum Computing Set for Chicago Multibillion-dollar Campus"
• "Machines Are on the Verge of Tackling Fermat’s Last Theorem—a Proof That Once Defied Them"
• "California's DMV is using the blockchain to prevent fraud"
• A $200 Mouse with an Endless Subscription for Software Updates
• “Google pulls its terrible pro-AI “Dear Sydney” ad after backlash”
