On: Margaret Hamilton has died

[soulofmischief]

Margaret, along with Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper, was such a huge inspiration to me as a young engineer. I'm honored to be in a field pioneered by women such as them, even if it's turned into a male-dominated field today. Rest in peace to a real legend.

Fun Fact: "Computer" was a profession before it was a thing. Computers did math on complex systems, often with the help of sin/cos/tan tables and the like. And they were usually women.

This is why I don't understand why people get confused or angry when I say I would marry a computer.
