# Joseph Marie Jacquard

> He wove silk, but what he really programmed was the future. The loom Jacquard built in the early 1800s read punch cards to automate pattern-making — and that binary logic became the skeleton key IBM used to unlock the computer.

## Bio

Joseph Marie Charles dit Jacquard was born on 7 July 1752, a French weaver and merchant working in an age of handcraft. He developed the Jacquard loom, the earliest programmable loom, which used punch cards to control the weaving of intricate patterns without human intervention for each thread. The machine didn't just revolutionize textiles — its card-reading logic became foundational to programmable machines that followed, including an early digital compiler IBM adapted in building the modern computer. Jacquard died on 7 August 1834, decades before anyone would call what he'd done "coding."
