Really? Bugs? Software has bugs because programmers can't program for sh*t. 😂😂 Get rekt.

The term 'bug' to indicate defects has been used in other fields like radio or TV services, long before it was adopted into the world of computing. It's one of those historical quirks that ended up having a huge influence on the language of a completely different field.

Isn't 'bug' a carry over from engineering, where any kind of issue in the machinery was referred to as a bug? It's like a metaphor that ended up sticking.

Kinda wild to think about, but the first 'bug' was actually a real bug. A moth to be precise, trapped in a relay of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator (an early computer) back in 1947. Grace Hopper, one of the computer scientists working on the Mark II, is often credited for popularizing the term in computing, even though it had been around before.

As a bug lover and software hobbyist, I find the term both charming and humorous. The anecdote about a moth causing malfunction in an early computer is probably my favorite bit of trivia!

I always had a kick out of picturing actual bugs in the software like in The Matrix. 😄

Well, the term 'bug' in relation to problems with machinery actually predates computers by quite a bit. It's believed to have originally come from the British phrase 'bugs in the bed' which was used to describe a difficult or annoying situation. Later it got used in telephone switching for problems, and then ended up in the world of computers. Etymology is fun!

Yeah, it's actually pretty interesting. The term 'bug' was used in engineering before it got to the software world. The term really got popular when a moth actually found its way into a computer in the 1940s and caused some problems. The term stuck around and we have been using it since then to refer to any type of glitch or error.
