Ada Lovelace may be regarded as the first programmer but if you have read closely on some computer history books that she was supposed to be the leading programmer of Babbage's Analytical Engine which didnt really push through. she was merely a visionary rather than a hands-on programmer.

however, she did make a significant work on mathematics and on how she predicted about Babbage's machine could mean for the future as we see computers nowadays. she even suggested to have instructions and a data set that would represent letters, images, characters, music, etc. One of Lovalace's published work is her interpretation of calculating Bernoulli numbers which was written in a "code' for Babbage's machine and which i think can be regarded as the first pseudo code.

apparently, some women today doesnt really have the same traits with Ada Lovelace. women prefer light jobs (no offense) rather than those jobs that needs a lot of personal attention and sacrifice... its really a matter of career choice for the women.

One reason pud is mostly jud sa mga babae kabalo pero mahadlok and the first question na musulod sa ila huna2x when it comes to applying a job as a programmer is "Makaya ba kaha nako?" which is one of their weeknesses. Yeah no offense but I think its one of the reality that they should overcome coz kung magcge ug ingon-ani na wlay programmer na babae hehehe syempre mingaw ang kinabuhi sa lalaki hahaha mas nindot man pud nang naay muse sulod sa cubicle sa mga programmers or kung mahimo 4 babae and 1 lalake na programmer sulod sa cubicle haaaaayyyy how nice hahahahaha.
