Ada Lovelace Day.

I'm not part of the pledge so don't have a post of my own about women who excel in technology. But I thought I might post a link to the world's first ever computer program used to calculate Bernoulli numbers, as written by Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, a.k.a. The Enchantress Of Numbers.

Beats "Hello, world!" any day. And she didn't even have a real Analytical Engine to test/debug it on.
