Deep dives
The Emergence of Software Engineering
Software engineering came into existence in the 1950s during NASA's space missions. Initially, there were no software engineers, but as technology advanced, the need for software engineering became apparent. An incident in the 1960s, where a spaceship was destroyed due to a bug in the code, led to the realization that reliable software was essential. This incident sparked the development of software engineering as a discipline, with a focus on designing, developing, and testing computer software.
