When the ENIAC was unveiled in 1946, the press hailed it as a 'giant brain' — but they completely missed the human story behind its operation. This episode tells how six young women, initially hired as 'calculators' to compute ballistics tables by hand, became the world's first computer programmers. They programmed ENIAC using plugboards and function tables, with no programming languages, no manuals, and no recognition for decades. We explore how Jean Bartik, Kay McNulty, Betty Holberton, and their colleagues debugged the machine, developed subroutines, and laid the groundwork for modern software — all while the engineers who built ENIAC got the credit. It's a story of invisible labor that fundamentally shaped computing, and a reminder that the history of technology is often more complicated than the heroic inventor narrative. #ENIAC #WomenInComputing #HistoryOfProgramming #JeanBartik #KayMcNulty #BettyHolberton #FirstProgrammers #ENIACSix #Ballistics #UniversityOfPennsylvania #MooreSchool #SoftwareHistory #HiddenFigures #ComputerHistory #TechnologyPodcast #TechHistory #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
