X was a computing pioneer who coined the term "computer bug" after finding a moth stuck inside Harvard's Mark II computer in 1947 (which in turn led to the term "debug,"). X did the foundational work that led to the COBOL programming language. When retired from the U.S. Navy at age 79, X was the oldest active-duty commissioned officer in the service. X had a clock in the office that ran backwards. In 1994 Anita Borg co-founded a conference (which is the world’s largest gathering of women in computing) commemorating X.
