Ada Lovelace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia »

“She is today appreciated as the “first programmer” since she was writing programs—that is, manipulating symbols according to rules—for a machine that [Charles] Babbage had not yet built. She also foresaw the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching while others, including Babbage himself, focused only on these capabilities.” [Emphasis mine]
