In 1843, Ada Lovelace translated an article about Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine and added a few notes of her own. Her “few notes” ended up far longer than the article and included what’s widely considered the first published computer program. For a long time, much of the credit went to Babbage anyway. Her work survived because she wrote it down. On Ada Lovelace Day, take the hint: your wins deserve a record, too.
