Not exactly an article but Grace Hopper's 1978 HOPL keynote makes for good reading: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/800025.1198341 .. she rails against the then 'Establishment' and thinks back to days when people thought assembly language was a bit fancy and modern. There's a lot about the earliest days of programming in her keynote.
