Ada Loves Code: Bringing Poetical Science and Human Warmth to Open Source
Sup Dev.to! Thanks for reading! This is Mike Cramblett, a human developer and ad-hoc researcher. I'm excited to share my new open-source project: Ada Loves Code (ALC) —a code-compliment generator powered by an Augusta Ada Lovelace persona that inspects repositories and outputs archival, engraved "Certificates of Poetical Science."

Mike Cramblett, a developer and researcher, is thrilled to introduce Ada Loves Code (ALC), an open-source code-compliment generator. This project uses Augusta Ada Lovelace's persona to analyze repositories and generate archival, engraved Certificates of Poetical Science. ALC is a fresh take on a hackathon project called HypeBESTIE, utilizing Google AI Studio's Remix feature.
The developer believes that the current "attention economy" has no place in technical and scientific inquiry and wants to make peer review generous. The goal of ALC is to create a tangible, bespoke artifact for users to share alongside their thoughtful notes, marking when they've been seen. The inspiration behind ALC comes from the author's own struggles with audience engagement and a personal connection to Ada Lovelace's journey.
