Programming the ENIAC: A Look Back at Computing History
Original: Programming the ENIAC (2011)
A 2011 Columbia University article on how the ENIAC was programmed is drawing renewed attention. The piece recounts how the original six programmers had to hand-wire the massive machine, physically configuring cables and switches to carry out calculations, with no stored program or programming language. Readers are sharing it as a reminder of how radically software development has changed since the 1940s.
Why now: Readers are revisiting the origins of programming through a well-regarded historical account that still resonates with today's software community.
