> the story claimed it was the first ever computer bug. About this part, the comment by eesmith (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32518611 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32518611) cites a page at Harvard University saying this: > “Before 1944, electrical engineers already used the term «bug» to refer to hard-to-find physical defects that hindered the operation of an electric device. The Mark I team appropriated the term for unexpected problems in the «coding» of a problem. Above are cartoons drawn by Grace Hopper of the different types of bugs encountered during her work.” > https://chsi.harvard.edu/harvard-ibm-mark-1-language https://chsi.harvard.edu/harvard-ibm-mark-1-language
