A legend among legends. One of my few idols in software engineering.
It’s beyond my comprehension how anyone could successfully build the software that put the first humans on the moon and back on the first try. She had no reference. No one else had done it before her. Debugging tools were few. Internet wasn’t a thing. She had only one attempt to do it, and she did it.
Today it’s a big dare to do a routine deploy on a Friday.
Ahh, shame. Next machine i set up will have something with her name as the hostname. Already got turing, ada (lovelace), and bernlee.
Make room for Grace Hopper in there, too!
Another Legend gone. RIP Margaret.
what a legend
Her grandson Fergie Chambers is currently imprisoned by the Spanish regime for being anti Israel
Spanish regime You think Spain is somehow the bad guy in that imbroglio? Spain?
yeah yeah yeah. Even tho the first generation of programmers were women, still they say “women are not fit for logical works like programming and math”.
