I had read that the term had been used back in the days of the
Spinning Jenny, when insects used to infiltrate the weaving mechanics
(or something like that).

The vague term 'bug' has a bit of history, part of which I know. It
is attributed to Admiral Grace Hopper (one of the pioneers of
COBOL) who had to find a problem in a computer in 1945. When she
tracked it down, a moth had flown into the machine causing it to
malfunction. When her manager asked her what she had been doing,
she responded "debugging the machine". Said moth is now on display
in the Smithsonian. It does seem that she said this because the
term 'bug' was already in use.
