<h1>A brief history of software engineering</h1>
<h1>History</h1>
<div class="lead">Andrew J. Ko</div>
<p>Computers haven't been around for long. If you read one of the many histories of computing and information, such as James Gleick's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Information-History-Theory-Flood/dp/1400096235">The Information</a>, or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tool-Partner-Evolution-Human-Computer-Interaction/dp/1627059636">Jonathan Grudin's History of HCI</a>, you'll learn that before <em>digital</em> computers, computers were people, calculating things manually, as portrayed in the film <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Figures">Hidden Figures</a> (watch it if you haven't!). And that <em>after</em> digital computers, programming wasn't something that many people did. It was reserved for whoever had access to the mainframe and they wrote their programs on punchcards like the one above. Computing was in no way a ubiquitous, democratized activity&mdash;it was reserved for the few that could afford and maintain a room-sized machine.</p>

<p>The photo above is a candid shot of some of the software engineers of <a href="http://answerdash.com">AnswerDash</a>, a company I co-founded in 2012. There are a few things to notice. First, you see one of the employees explaining something, while others are diligently working off to the side. It's not a huge team; just a few engineers, plus several employees in other parts of the organization in another room. This, as simple as it looks, is pretty much what all software engineering work looks like. Some organizations have one of these teams; others have thousands.</p>
