How do they justify elevating translating someone else's work about a mechanical computer to "inventing programming"

Can't we let women have this one thing? Like... just this one thing? It's fine. Who knows, a lot of time has passed and I'm sure there's many people who "programmed" and never told anyone.

It's fine, let Ada have this. It's dead anyway and we clearly don't have nearly enough women in Computer Science so we can let this one go. We already have 99% of all stuff, we shouldn't get greedy.

I see a complete disregard for truth, that's how they justify it.

Could you be any less of a cute twink? Christ, how about not making shit up because misinformation is bad? Or is that something that people just invoke when the other side says something they don't like?

Ada Lovelace is a real person. What's patronizing about it? We didn't make her up out of pity for women.

I love the fudging of the language here. No one says she was made up they say her accolades are built on a pity-lie
