“I don’t shine if you don’t shine”
Yesterday was Ada Lovelace Day. Ada’s not only the namesake of this site, but she’s also (way more importantly) the first person to write a programming language. On paper. Called the “Analytical Engine,” Ada and her colleagues mapped out the earliest version of what one day became a computer.
Ada Lovelace Day is a day to celebrate the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The Shine Theory + Ada Lovelace
The Shine Theory is an idea posited by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman – in short, if we surround ourselves by smart, successful, fun, crazy cool women, maybe some of that awesome-ness will rub off on us simply by proximity.
Let’s make Ada Lovelace Day a year round thing – let’s shine like the bright stars we are – and find some brighter stars and befriend them – and all make the world a bit of a better, brighter place.
