Do you know where the term "bug" in programming actually came from? <break time="0.8s" /> In 1947,
engineer Grace Hopper was working with the Mark II computer at Harvard University. <break time="0.5s" /> Suddenly,
the machine stopped working. The reason? A real moth was stuck between the
relays! <break time="0.8s" /> Grace removed the insect and taped it into the logbook with a note: "First
actual case of bug being found." <break time="0.5s" /> Since then, the term "bug" became the official name
for software errors. <break time="0.8s" /> Funny how today we're still catching bugs, but in a completely
different way!
