It's Ada Lovelace Day, and Adafruit Industries is featuring one woman in technology per hour on their blog. So far we've seen Natalie Jeremijenko, Core-contributor Bethany Shorb, Fiona Raby, Kelly Dobson (pictured above, performing machine therapy) and many more!
Ada Lovelace, whom the holiday commemorates, was one of the first computer programmers: Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (10 December 1815 - 27 November 1852) was one of the world's first computer programmers, and one of the first people to see computers as more than just a machine for doing sums. She wrote programs for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, a general-purpose computing machine, despite the fact that it was never built. She also wrote the very first description of a computer and of software.
