In college we had a senior citizen sitting in on one of the classes. It turned out that she was one of the people during WWII that worked on one of the code breaking computers. She basically described it as entering codes into the computer, hoping it worked right(most of the time it didn't), and managing hand-wringing generals waiting for results.
