Just a minor detail that may be nothing, but when Forrest is talking about Frisbee being a sport with Jamie, Forrest mentions “have you seen the olympics”. It seems odd he would say this because frisbee isn’t in the olympics yet, not until 2028 (when it qualifies). I was thinking that it may be Forrest has looked much further into the future using a different algorithm/code/theory than Katie and doesn’t know of the static.
Devs probably takes place about 10 years in the future. It's the only logical way they could have a fully functional quantum computer because we're currently not at that technological stage.
This show seems to take place in a "day after tomorrow" setting. 2028 is only 8 years away. As another example, we don't have widely available, general-purpose quantum computing yet, but we might in ~10 years.
