“That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal as time will show.” - Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace (December 10, 1815-November 27, 1852)
Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace was a writer and mathematician who worked on Charles Babbage's early mechanical computer. Her work in what she called "poetical science" led her to a legacy as the first computer programmer, and continues to inspire generations of hackers today.
