As a stressed programmer, I press the "Burnout" button all the time. But it just pops a message saying, "Shouldda been a dentist, like your mom told you."

You may scoff at COBOL, but she pioneered the idea of using a more human-friendly notation instead of machine language and its cousin, assembler. Her experiments were the precursor to Algol, which shaped all the imperative block-oriented languages we use today, including C, Java, VB, Pascal, etc.

And it made software more vendor-independent as the languages were not tied to a specific machine architecture, unlike machine code and assembler.

Before that, many scoffed at the idea of "dumbing down" programming with English-like syntax, fearing it would waste resources and invite poorly educated riff-raff into the field. (Well, maybe it did :-)

Perhaps Grace didn't get it quite right on the first try, but she helped spark a computer language revolution that led to better tools down the road. She tested waters others feared.
