Trigger warning: lots of suicide talk.
This post is not about Aaron Swartz. Neither is it about his death. It’s about some of the responses I’ve seen to his death.
You can tell people who’ve been near suicide before from those who haven’t. The ones for whom this is new are fitting…

Today is Ada Lovelace Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the world’s first computer programmer and to share inspiring stories about women working in science, technology and math. Surely some of the most significant technical work done by women since this day last year includes the creation of what is said to be the fastest-growing social network in history, Google Plus.
