Ada Lovelace day exists to celebrate the women — whether engineers, scientists, technologists or mathematicians — who have inspired you to become who you are today.
I presume the context of this post is that it's Ada's birthday?
Is this a new HN trend? Karma for dead programmer birthdays? I don't dispute Ada's great contributions and example for women but I have to jump on the non-news bandwagon.
OP could at least have linked to an article about her, with some timely reason for why Lovelace should be mentioned on the front page of Hacker News. A Wikipedia page with no context is on par with "TIL about Ada Lovelace".
