September 9, 1947: Grace Hopper's computer science team at Harvard encounters puzzling errors and technical glitches with the Harvard Mark II computer. Eventually, operators trace these glitches to their source: a dead moth in a relay. Placing the moth in their log book, they cemented a new meaning of the word "bug."
While the team's insect encounter popularized the terms bug and debugging, theirs was merely the most literal of a long line of "bugs" that have preyed upon even the greatest of programmers and engineers for hundreds of years:
- Ada Lovelace first noted how software can contain errors in 1843
- In 1873, Thomas Edison invented a "bug trap" to isolate false telegraph breaks and coined the term "bug"
- 1892: Thomas Sloane's Standard Electrical Dictionary defines bugs as "any fault or trouble in the… working of [an] electrical apparatus"
우리가 사용하는 버그의 의미가 이때 굳어진 듯...진짜 버그잖아.
