Chapter 2 Quantum Entanglement



Dante got out of the uber and stood before his family home. It seemed like a typical suburban neighborhood, but it was actually a semi-walled as well as gated community for the elite among the middle class.

His eyes gleamed as he held the box in hand tightly and walked up to the gate of his house. The security guard at the front was watching videos on TikTok to pass the time and greeted Dante when he passed by.

"Yo Dante, what\'s up? You\'re back from the shopping?"

Dante turned to smile at the neatly-dressed and muscular guard who actually had a stun baton as well as a pistol strapped to his waist.

"Eduardo, what have I told you about TikTok? It\'s a psy-op from China to make the American youth stupid. Also, the shopping went well."

Eduardo rolled his eyes and waved his hand, not willing to descend into a tinfoil hat battle with Dante who was like a storm when he started. Dante wrung his lips with dissatisfaction seeing that he couldn\'t share his conspiracy theories with another unwilling person.

However, his attention was soon taken away when he entered his home then saw that his dad and mom were seated in the living room.

For being about 50 years old each, they still looked really good, mostly thanks to his mom who emphasized eating healthy and exercising at all ages.

His father was a handsome man with light caramel skin, a pair of square-rimmed glasses, and short-cropped black hair. Apart from a white Polo t-shirt displaying his broad chest, tucked into a pair of elastic Burberry shorts and a pair of green crocs, he also wore a bored frown.

Beside him was his lovely mother, a tall Eurasian woman that inherited the best characteristics from both ancestries. Long, silky black hair, two light blue eyes, fair skin that was neither pale nor pasty, but healthy, and the typical small, extremely cute face of an Asian woman.

Apart from her favorite blue sundress and a pair of slippers, what else would his mom wear when at home?

"Dad, mom, I\'m home," Dante called out to them with a smile.

David, his father, turned backward and saw Dante then nodded. "Good to see you\'re home safe son. If you\'re hungry, let me know and I\'ll cook something up for you."

Dante rolled his eyes at his father\'s usual stoicism. "Alright dad, sure."

Aileen, his mother, smacked David on the shoulder. "Stop being childish just because he doesn\'t want to become a clone of you. Smile at your son, honey."

David simply looked away, folded his arms, and harrumphed. Aileen chuckled and Dante rolled his eyes again before going upstairs to his room.

He was an only child and had no other person staying here apart from the three of them, so his room was rather large with its own walk-in closet and bathroom.

He removed his clothes and tossed everything to the side before slipping into a singlet and a pair of mesh pop shorts that didn\'t require one to necessarily wear underwear because they had a net inside.

He then sat at his desk and opened his $3000 laptop with an Intel I-9 17900k, 128 GB 5000MHz DDR5 RAM, and an Nvidia RTX 6090 TI Super Mobile.

The specs were the latest of this year and it was definitely a beast. Dante had no issues gaming or working on it and his attempts to code had gone without a hitch so far.

He then opened the Huawei G20\'s box and unpackaged it slowly. It was always nice to unbox new tech, as long as you could ignore the wails of your wallet from the intense blow it suffered.

After unboxing, Dante plugged the new phone into the charge and saw it was at 75%. He let it charge to full, which only took like 15 minutes on Type-C fast charging, and then started it up.

He had already backed up his old phone onto his laptop previously, so he went ahead and plugged it in on the spot. He set it up using his backup, so in a matter of minutes, this phone was just like his old one, and ready to be used.

He then opened the productivity apps that came with the phone and saw the app he needed, he opened it up and imported the finished code as well as the necessary files from his laptop, then chose to build the package directly on the phone.

True to its advertising, it only took it around 1 and a half minutes to complete this, so Dante chose to run the app. The loading screen came up and Dante waited patiently.

Now would be a good time to talk about the app Dante was making. As Dante\'s lecturer had once joked, App Developers made apps in response to a need, not a want. It was the only way for an app to break through and become a legendary Super App!

So what did people need in this day and age that wasn\'t already covered? Dante had thought long and hard about it, doing extensive research, talking on many boards and social apps with randoms to see what they lacked.

The answer was always straightforward: \'I need something that can fix my f**king life, bruv. That\'s not something an app can do.\'

So Dante\'s response to this was to make an all-purpose app. It was Facebook/Twitter, Snapchat/Instagram, Whatsapp/Telegram, Ebay/Aliexpress, Doordash/Ubereats, Spotify/Deezer, Youtube/Vimeo, Twitch/Mixer, Tinder/Grindr, and Chrome/Firefox in one.

It was a social media app with streamable music, pages for various e-commerce stores to sell wares, a page for people to watch uploaded videos - be they short like TikTok or long like youtube - and even watch live streams as well.

Also, it had an inbuilt browser.

From an objective point of view, the idea wasn\'t bad, but its fate would be decided by the execution. However, doing something like this would require near-perfect execution, especially on the backend.

Dante had agonized over building this thing for weeks and had finally put something together. After spending so much time and effort, he no longer even thought about failure.

It was either this thing succeeded or… he didn\'t even know what he would do next.

Now that the screen was loading, he couldn\'t help but anticipate whether it would activate without a hitch. For one, you should know that even if one develops an app, one can\'t just think of the technical details, but also of the aesthetic and external details.

So in order to make the app stand out from any competitors or just from the millions of productivity apps out there, he coded in a special intro.

When the person clicked on the app, they would see the app\'s logo for about 2 seconds before a transition would occur and they would be brought to a semi-realistic 2D background of a floating island.

Lines would appear on the screen saying \'are you ready to enter the world of eternal enjoyment?\' and then they would pass through an animation similar to entering the animus or when a certain character accesses the full-dive.

Then, you go to the login page or the home screen depending on whether you\'ve logged in already.

Yeah, yeah, the line and the various stuff were super corny, you didn\'t have to tell Dante about it, he knew. It was just a placeholder till he got a better idea, besides, it was not the point!

The app finally loaded up, much to his excitement, and took him to the screen. Right away, he noticed some issues with how the app lagged and that the resolution of the floating island was not optimized at all.

This didn\'t dishearten him, as he never expected the first test build to be perfect. No experienced programmer was that arrogant. In fact, most lived in fear of their code, believing that every line hid a potential bug.

If it run too smoothly, rather than be happy, the coder in question would sneer and know that it was a trick!

The bugs were hiding until the final version was published, then they would bare their fangs on the end user\'s devices and tarnish your reputation!

Dante clicked the button to switch from the intro scene to the actual login page, but something wrong seemed to occur at this point. A familiar and fearsome prompt appeared before him that every coder hated.

[Error at line 34598: Syntax Error!

Description: "#√ P− |ψ 〉 = |−z〉|+z hahaha Quantum Entangle my balls b*tch!#" cannot be read!

Ignore and continue?]

Dante was embarrassed and then furious.

\'I put the bloody line in a hash! Why the hell are you reading it? Which editor does that?!\'

Ignore and continue of course!

It was just something he typed into the editor near the \'jump\' command that led to the login page because he felt like... well.

The first screen switching to the second screen - coupled with the animation - sorta looked like passing through a whole world, so he ended up thinking about the Quantum Entanglement equation.

He was tired, sleepy, and hungry at the time, so he angrily typed that out and felt much better before forgetting about it and continuing onward.
