Admiral '''Grace Murray Hopper''' was an early pioneer in computer software. She led the team that designed the [[COBOL]] programming language and wrote its compiler. She popularized the usage of the term ''[[computer bug|bug]]'' to refer to a software error, in reference to an incident where a moth literally caused a computer to fail.
