The First Bug
Aug 10, 2021
Do you know where the term “bug” in software development comes from?
Back in the 1940’s someone was working on a computer and it stopped working. When they investigated, they found a moth stuck in it. That’s where the term “bug” first originated from.
A bit more detail is written in National Geographic.
( Talking of moths… I’ll tell you the joke about the moth another day! It’s the perfect antidote for those awkward silences in remote meetings 🤪)
