@pele75 @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton Didn't Grace Hopper coin the term bug (after an actual bug caused a bug)? @human3500 @pele75 @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton She taped the actual dead insect into the log book @kelleynnn @pele75 @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton Well, she had to tape the bug into the book because the trouble ticket system back then was garbage. @kelleynnn @human3500 @pele75 @ljrk @lisamelton - indeed she did ! and i use it as an example of why all engineers, including software engineers, should keep a log book. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/worlds-first-computer-bug/ |
