Grace M. Hopper made history on September 9, 1947, by removing the first computer bug. It was a moth that got into the relay calculator and was the first actual case of a bug being found. Afterward, the operators coined the phrase that they have “debugged the computer.” Of course anyone with a computer science background probably knows that story!

Did You Know? The Origin of 'Bug' in Computer Science" "Ever wondered why we call computer glitches 'bugs'? It dates back to 1947 when Grace Hopper, a renowned computer scientist, found a moth stuck in a relay of the Mark II computer. She famously removed the moth and taped it to the logbook, coining the term 'bug' to describe technical glitches. Talk about a literal 'debugging' process! Stay tuned for more intriguing tech trivia. #TechTrivia #DidYouKnow"

Daily Tech Byte Did you know that the world's first computer bug was an actual insect that got stuck in the Harvard Mark II computer in 1947? The operators had to remove the moth to get the computer running again! Today, computer bugs are a thing of the past (thankfully!), but we still use the term to describe glitches and errors in our tech. What's the funniest tech glitch you've ever experienced?

"I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying part tended to be not so much fun, but the playing part was really marvelous. A good way to have fun again is to get a computer." - Alan J. Perlis 🔄 Repost this post

This is one of the most nicely animated and simple to understand explainers on binary computer storage I've come across. Love how it illustrates things we take for granted but may not actually understand, like the definition of bits and bytes. https://lnkd.in/gyK7AS9M

Did you know that the term "bug" in the context of computing can be traced back to a famous 1947 incident involving Grace Hopper, a pioneer in computer programming? While working on the Harvard Mark II computer, her team discovered a literal moth trapped between the machine's relays, causing it to malfunction. Hopper's colleagues famously remarked, "It's a bug," and the term stuck, giving birth to a new era of troubleshooting and debugging. Why do some of us still get upset when we encounter bugs? The story behind bugs and how to write better codes is a good read for anyone who feels the pain of constant debugging. Read: https://lnkd.in/dAcJTmi7
