Today in 1945, the first computer bug was discovered. I completely doubt the authenticity of this photo. How did the writer know it was the first? Think that one through. The only plausible part is that it is entirely possible that programmers then, as now, likely didn't know a moth is not a bug. Or is it? My emphasis is that most low-caliber programmers would not know, but they would still try to write code about it.
