Quote of the Day by Ada Lovelace, English mathematician and writer

This quote is probably the last thing that would cross my mind. Ever. But I understand it and found more quotes by this brilliant woman. I was soon going down the rabbit hole into the world of mathematics and early computer programming. While researching Ada Lovelace, I later came across ALD 2009’s Pledge.

“Ada Lovelace Day started with a simple promise on Pledgebank.”

"I will publish a blog post on Tuesday 24th March about a woman in technology whom I admire but only if 1,000 other people will do the same," reads the pledge. I wonder how that turned out.
