Perhaps, if you didn't commit grammatical/syntactic and social errors, life would go easier for you ... #JustSaying

Some Schmuck, commenting on what is clearly an electromechanical (or later) device: Oh, Ada Lovelace! I know her.

Me: The woman in question is probably more likely Grace Hopper, judging by the image. Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, died at least one hundred years before the first modern (electromechanical) computer existed (unless you consider Charles Babbage's Difference/Analytical Engine, not depicted in the image, a computer) and twenty years before Lord Kelvin's prediction engine. The fact that she was the daughter of nobility from another country circa 1800 notwithstanding, you can't possibly "know" her. You might know of her.

Also, a nice bit of casual sexism in the workplace on that image. Well done, that man, reinforcing the marketing-driven false perception that computers and software development is primarily a domain for men ... 🤦🏻‍♂️ By and large, it isn't genetics or "women's brains being different" that keeps women out of STEM fields (particularly CS), it's the sexism of bit-head men (from fathers to colleagues).
