March is #WomensHistoryMonth! This is Margaret Hamilton, leader of the MIT team responsible for developing in-flight software for the Apollo moon landing in 1969. In this photo, she's standing next to the code that she and her team wrote by hand! #RoleModelsinCS #WomeninSTEM
@codeorg huge respect for the real heroes. also, i always thought she looked very much like harry potter.
@codeorg Back in my software development days* programmers hand wrote code and this was punched to cards. *#Cobol based on FLOW-MATIC developed by #GraceHopper Also have read that the stack of printed paper in this photo was just to make a good picture and certainly not hand written.
@codeorg Have you heard our songs about #WomenInSTEM ? Ine of them features the @NASA mathematicians. open.spotify.com/album/4kULwJwS…
@codeorg Am I wrong in thinking she looks like Harry Potter
