Preparing for Q-Day

Most of the cryptography securing the internet today rests on mathematical problems that classical computers cannot solve in any reasonable timeframe. That assumption is now being tested. Recent advances in quantum computing have dramatically compressed timelines, and many in the industry have set a target of full post-quantum security by 2029, meaning a complete migration The post <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/06/16/preparing-for-q-day/">Preparing for Q-Day</a> appeared first on <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com">Software Engineering Daily</a>.

Developing Multiplayer Games in Godot

Multiplayer games are among the hardest software systems to build, requiring developers to synchronize state across unreliable networks while maintaining fairness, performance, and a responsive player experience. Latency, cheating, server costs, and debugging distributed game logic all introduce complexity that single-player games never encounter. Dome Keeper is a minimalist tower defense game with roguelike elements The post <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/06/11/developing-multiplayer-games-in-godot/">Developing Multiplayer Games in Godot</a> appeared first on <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com">Software Engineering Daily</a>.

SED News: Apple’s AI Problem, The Real Business Model of AI, and Token Cost Reckoning

SED News is a monthly podcast from Software Engineering Daily where hosts Gregor Vand and Sean Falconer unpack the biggest stories shaping software engineering, Silicon Valley, and the broader tech industry. In this episode, they cover Apple‘s uncertain path beyond the iPhone. They also discuss Google‘s agentic pivot at Google I/O, a surge in DuckDuckGo The post <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/06/09/sed-news-apples-ai-problem-the-real-business-model-of-ai-and-token-cost-reckoning/">SED News: Apple’s AI Problem, The Real Business Model of AI, and Token Cost Reckoning</a> appeared first on <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com">Software Engineering Daily</a>.

Web Native Game Development

The web has quietly become one of the most capable platforms for game development. Advances in WebAssembly, WebGL, and WebGPU have given developers tools that rival native desktop performance, while game engines like Unity and Godot have added robust web export pipelines. However, building games for the browser comes with its own set of constraints The post <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/06/04/web-native-game-development/">Web Native Game Development</a> appeared first on <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com">Software Engineering Daily</a>.

The Hardware Bottleneck AI Can’t Fix

Software engineering has developed powerful tools for observability, data management, and continuous testing, but hardware engineering has largely not kept pace. The feedback loops, tooling, and infrastructure that software engineers take for granted simply do not exist in most hardware programs. Nominal is a data platform built to help hardware organizations move at the same The post <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/06/02/the-hardware-bottleneck-ai-cant-fix/">The Hardware Bottleneck AI Can’t Fix</a> appeared first on <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com">Software Engineering Daily</a>.

Autonomous Drone Delivery at Scale

Autonomous drone delivery has long been the stuff of science fiction, but ongoing advances have moved the space from experimental to operational. Zipline is one of the leading companies in this space, with drones that charge between missions and fly autonomously to deliver packages directly to customers. Kyle Madonia is the VP of Application Software The post <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/05/28/autonomous-drone-delivery-at-scale/">Autonomous Drone Delivery at Scale</a> appeared first on <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com">Software Engineering Daily</a>.

The European Startup Scene

Europe’s startup ecosystem is maturing rapidly, with companies like Revolut, Lovable, and Legora demonstrating that world-class technology businesses can be built and scaled on the continent. While the US remains the dominant force in venture-backed software as home to the largest markets, the deepest capital pools, and the most ambitious exit culture, a growing number The post <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/05/26/the-european-startup-scene/">The European Startup Scene</a> appeared first on <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com">Software Engineering Daily</a>.

React Native at Scale

React Native is an open source framework developed by Meta that allows engineers to build mobile applications for both iOS and Android using a single JavaScript codebase. The framework bridges the gap between web development and native mobile, which lets teams ship to both platforms simultaneously without sacrificing the look and feel of a truly The post <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/05/21/react-native-at-scale/">React Native at Scale</a> appeared first on <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com">Software Engineering Daily</a>.

Formal Methods as Agent Guardrails

Formal methods are a branch of mathematics and computer science focused on proving the correctness of systems, and they have long promised a more rigorous foundation for software. However, their complexity has kept them confined to a small community of specialists. That is now changing as agentic AI systems take on increasingly autonomous roles.

Open Source Sustainability

Open source software underpins nearly every modern application, including frameworks powering the most popular websites, to the libraries securing financial backend systems. However, while open source drives collaboration and innovation at a global scale, it also faces deep challenges in sustainability, community health, and long-term maintenance. Many of the world’s most critical dependencies are still The post <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/05/14/open-source-sustainability/">Open Source Sustainability</a> appeared first on <a href="https://softwareengineeringdaily.com">Software Engineering Daily</a>.
