Tracing back language history to the root of the very first (mnemonic) instruction (jump/branch) I found two different sources:

1. In 1954 Nathanael Rochester developed the "first" mnemonic for the 701 computer that uses "TR" jump commands: shrtn.escalar.pt/ZuE5

2. In 1947 the "manual" for the computer contained the "sp x" mnemonic: shrtn.escalar.pt/FdYC

So, which one was actually the "first" to use mnemonics for branching?

I'm excited to be teaching my #DiagramsAsCode with #AI workshop live and in-person at #GOTO #Copenhagen! 🙌

Join me to:
💡 Gain a grounding in #PlantUML, #MermaidJS, and #Structurizr
💡 Understand the tradeoffs of diagrams-as-code and models vs. standard diagrams
💡 Recognise the limitations and useful use cases of using diagrams-as-code with LLMs
