Friday Post: Early Coders

Forget Apple and Microsoft – let’s rewind to the 1800s and meet Ada Lovelace, the OG programmer! While most folks were waltzing and writing sonnets, Ada was busy writing the world’s FIRST computer program!

Think of her as a math magician who spoke machine. She took Charles Babbage’s “Analytical Engine” (basically a fancy calculator) and whispered instructions it could actually understand. Numbers became music, calculations became waltzes, and boom! The computer age was born. ✨

So next time you scroll through endless apps, remember Ada, the lady who proved coding wasn’t just for future nerds, but for anyone with a mind that loves to play with numbers. Now that’s what I call #GirlBoss!
