Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on January 17, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Anita Borg! If debugging code were as easy as you made empowering women in tech look, we'd all be coding flawlessly by now. Your groundbreaking work founding the Institute for Women and Technology has inspired countless female programmers to boldly go where no woman had coded before.

Thanks to your visionary creation of the Systers listserve, generations of talented women have found community, support—and probably a few good laughs about stubborn compilers along the way. Today we celebrate not just another loop around the sun but also your timeless legacy that continues compiling success stories every day.
