Debugging: A Woman Did It First T-Shirt

Admiral Grace Hopper was a trailblazer in the world of computer science who, among many other things, coined the term "debugging." Born in 1906, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, a machine that was the size of a room and weighed over five tons. But despite her impressive credentials, Hopper was not one to take herself too seriously.

Hopper was known for her quirky sense of humor and her love of storytelling, and she often used these qualities to explain complex technical concepts in a way that anyone could understand. It was this sense of humor that led her to coine the term "debugging" in the first place. The story goes that one day, while working on the Mark II computer, Hopper discovered a moth that had flown into the machine and caused it to crash. She plucked the moth out and jokingly referred to it as the "first actual case of bug being found." And thus, the term "debugging" was born. Although she may not have taken herself too seriously, Hopper's contributions to the field of computer science were no laughing matter: she paved the way for future generations of programmers and helped lay the foundation for modern computing as we know it today.
