Goodbye Jean Bartik
The news didn’t make the headlines, and I only discovered right now that Jean Bartik died this year on March 23. She was one of the ENIAC programmers, and worked on the BINAC and UNIVAC at EMCC. She was an invaluable source of information and first-hand anecdotes on all these early pieces of wizardry. Her autobiography should be published soon, I can’t wait to read it.
