In pop culture, computing & programming are often depicted with “tech bros.” But the first computer programmer was a brilliant woman.

Augusta “Ada” Lovelace was born in 1815. Her notes include an algorithm designed to be carried out by a machine & she envisioned that computers could go beyond calculations. Lovelace described “how individuals & society relate to technology as a collaborative tool.”

Lovelace passed away in 1852 at just 36. https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/ada-lovelace-the-first-tech-visionary #HistoryRemix #history #science

For a little perspective... Before /this/ Twitter migration started we did between 3 and 5 million background jobs per day(all actions from the network, follows, posts, boosts etc)

And when the migration started we soon did 40 million per day! The record is from 2 days ago on 55.6 million. We do now over the 50 million per day  

That's quite some servers working to process it all
