The Origins of the Word Bug

This episode originally published on December 7, 2016. Jonathan Strickland: I have to address a bit of apocryphal history and regrettably it's a story that we've repeated on TechStuff. The word bug had already been used to describe design flaws for decades before the Mark II was even designed. We'll be covering several goofs, mistakes, flubs, flaws, and outright catastrophes in this episode.
