Today is Ada Lovelace Day. Shout out to Ada Lovelace.
The day, which honors women in science generally, is named after Lovelace because she was a groundbreaking thinker and is often considered the world’s first computer programmer. (Unfortunately, they didn’t have computers yet.) You can read more about her life story at Atlas Obscura; coincidentally, she almost shares a birthdate with the twentieth century’s Grace Hopper, another pioneering female figure in the history of computer science.
