Ada Lovelace Day
People keep noting that Ada Lovelace was the “first female programmer.”
Dudes, the Countess of Lovelace “was the first to express an algorithm intended for implementation on a computer” in 18-fucking-42.
So let’s lose the “female” on this one, because it implies—however subtly—that some dude did it first.

And let’s all go learn some math to root out the poetic insanity.
