    Grace Hopper literally invented the first software compiler.

    If you dismiss software engineering as a form of engineering, then you have no qualifications to be an engineer and no business even commenting.

        The original post didn’t say the word ‘majority’. I did not say the word ‘majority’. Hell, you didn’t even say the word ‘majority’, until that last comment I’m responding to anyways.

        You said the word ‘backbone’. Well, when you think about it, aren’t compilers like the backbone of software engineering?

        You’re not gonna get very far writing your new fancy game by manually flipping all the bits one by one with a panel of switches, you need a compiler.

        Why do you think the human computers weren’t the majority of people creating the first electronic computers?
