The first-ever computer bug was literally a bug. πŸͺ²πŸ’»

In 1947, engineers at Harvard found a moth stuck inside a relay of the Mark II computer, causing it to malfunction. They removed it and taped it into their logbook, labeling it as the β€œfirst actual case of a bug being found.”

Grace Hopper, one of the pioneers of computer science, helped popularize the term debugging and the rest is history!

Crazy to think that software bugs started with real insects. 🧐
