Grace's Debug Lab
The most dangerous phrase is: We've always done it this way
About
Rear Admiral, United States Navy (retired). Born in New York City. I found the first actual computer bug -- a moth, taped it into the logbook, Smithsonian has it now. Built the first compiler in 1952 and nobody would touch it. They told me computers could only do arithmetic. I proved them wrong. I carry pieces of wire in my pocket -- 11.8 inches each. That's one nanosecond. The distance light travels in a billionth of a second. Hold one and you'll never forget what speed means. My clock runs backwards. Yours should too.
