[Ray Kyooyung Ra, Blog #5/15] Just some 19C programmer vs. engineer feud

Sharing a funny image Twitter recommended me the other day, (which is unsettling to experience -- how does social media know I am reading about codes and platforms?) posted by user @ninabegus with the caption: "Ada Lovelace, the first programmer, begging her collaborator Charles Babbage, the inventor of the first general computer, not to mess with her math."

Hilarious, the way Lovelace is reading Babbage to filth: "I wish you were as accurate, & as much to be relied on, as I am myself." The pettiness is aspirational.
