Have programed in Ada but I really hate to see programming broken down into gender when talking about who or what was the first program/programmer. It just keeps getting so gender related instead of just who or what was discovered - can’t we just agree that the discovery was great, whoever discovered or started the “thing”. Doubt that it will change though, too many invested in gender politics to ever let things go.
Really, does anyone care whether the inventor of anything was a man or woman? How about we just celebrate the inventor regardless of gender!
I agree to a point, but there really aren’t many female inventors or scientist.
It’s nice for technical women to have positive role models.
As a female software engineer, I like Ada Lovelace!
