My favourite meme at the moment is the awesome #WITBragDay meme on Twitter that celebrates women in tech. It seems to have been started by Alice Goldfuss with her tweet:

Hey, women in tech, we’ve had a rough week. I therefore pronounce this #WITBragDay

The result is tweet after tweet of pure inspiration from women in the technology industry. I spent some time reading tweets this morning when I woke up and I found myself smiling because these stories are just awesome.

My eyes are on fire from so much screen time! But #WITBragDay is worth the burn. pic.twitter.com/wHFSSpmacc

These women, and others like them, are the perfect response to the odious Damore memo. These stories are also the stories I want both our kids to know, especially our daughter. Heck, these stories inspire me as I learn to code. Here is a selection of some of my favourites:

This is probably one of my favourite favourites

And people feel offended by women who breastfeed in public!

I’ve created a Twitter Moment for the tweets I love the most. You can find that here too (it may be more complete and up to date):
