The Coding Language Caught in DOGE's Crosshairs
@clive speaks to Brooke Gladstone about #COBOL and manages to touch upon the gendered roles of coding and tag #GraceHopper and #FlowMatic on his way to explaining why “modernizing” old code on this scale cannot be done in a few months, why old code works well, and why #AI won’t necessarily help them do it well. #OnTheMedia

Years ago, when I was studying for my #COBOL cert, I attended a lunch where Rear Admiral #GraceHopper spoke. I lost my souvenir nanosecond in one of my moves, but I remember the lightbulb moment when she said picoseconds were the size of ground pepper bits.
I'm having a get-off-my-lawn moment. Storage wasn't cheap. It mattered *how* you did things because you were constrained by RAM, and execution time, too.
I'm afraid to look for Hopper on any official website because I don't want to see a 404-compliant page.
@hacks4pancakes What did I miss, where was the memory of admiral #GraceHopper erased a week ago?

Humans are allergic to change. They love to say, "We've always done it this way." I try to fight that. That's why I have a clock on my wall that runs counter-clockwise.

Geeksta Weekly Fact Drop
The first-ever computer bug was literally a bug. 
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 “first 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. 
It is much easier to apologize than to get permission.
-- Grace Hopper (commenting on surviving in a bureaucracy)
