I was just curious about the unusual choice of words.
You surely must be trolling
If anyone is interested I've also created a short 1.5 hour lecture on quantum computing aimed specifically at software engineers & computer scientists, which has proven popular: https://youtu.be/F_Riqjdh2oM I'd love to answer any questions people have. In quantum computation, state behaves like a vector and logic gates behave like matrices that multiply the vector to get a new state value. It doesn't get too much mor…
Just wanted to say I watched your lecture on YouTube a while back and thought it was very well-done and informative. I learned a lot. Thank you!

Any advice on breaking into the industry? Would be really neat to work as a quantum research engineer, or software engineer on quantum computers!

This is probably a dumb question but are there any data sciencey or tensorflowy things that can be done faster on a quantum computer?
For algorithms like HHL that have superclassical performance, a complex superposition encoding the data needs to be created first. This state is subsequently "consumed" by the algorithm. The no-cloning theorem forbids creating copies of the encoded state, and hence the encoding step needs to be repeated every time the algorithm is run.
For another example, consider Grover's search that is sub-linear in calls to an oracle function. If the oracle references a linear array of data, for example, it needs to work on superpositions of array indices. In other words, the entire dataset needs to fit in "quantum" memory.
Using a quantum cpu can only be sensible for computationally difficult problems where the hard problem instances can be specified by a relatively small number of bits.

Microsoft also has a fairly large team working on Q# and the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit. That would also involve research-adjacent things like efficiently compiling programs to specific quantum device layouts with appropriate error correction schemes, etc.
