I got the Women of NASA Lego set and recreated my favorite photo of all time. #lego #NASA #MargaretHamilton
@codybrumfield This is what Peak Software Performance looks like.  
@codybrumfield I thought this kind of wholesome posting was out of season
@codybrumfield one small problem, her arms are backwards

@codybrumfield

I LOVE THAT PICTURE!

(Sorry for screaming, but I really do like it a lot.)

@codybrumfield - I'm glad you opened the box. I have a sealed box signed by Margaret Hamilton and the set designer at the release event :-)

It's one of my favorite photos too ...

@rhempel @codybrumfield 🤯 🤯 🤯 That is sooo cool!!

@codybrumfield

I did that too, and put it on my mantle so I could see it every day.

@codybrumfield As a software engineer, three people have been my heroes. Turing, Hamilton, and Linus.

@codybrumfield oh shit I just realized that she's still alive :o

...really hope I didn't jinx it cause she's in her 80s though 😬

@codybrumfield @adamshostack For those who never used them—that stack is a set of binders of 8.5”x17” program listings. That's a *lot* of code…

@walshman23 @codybrumfield @adamshostack Thanks. There were 66 lines per page then, but you'd lose about 15 to margins, headers, etc. That comes to ~2250 pages. https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/8159/what-was-the-typical-thickness-of-fanfold-printer-paper suggests that this picture is likely 4–5 boxes of printer paper, i.e., 12K-15K pages minimum. Assembler listings often included symbol tables and cross-references, which would add extra, but there still seems to be a lot more paper there than I understand. As for 132 characters: see http://www.righto.com/2019/01/accounting-machines-ibm-1403-and-why.html
What was the typical thickness of fanfold printer paper?

Fanfold paper was commonly used for computer printouts from the 1950s to the 1980s. What was the typical thickness of such paper? The answer must be a measure of thickness, not weight. I am well...

That stack of code needs to be higher. It's as tall as she is!
@codybrumfield c'mon, Lego - the stack of binders has to be taller. than. Rope. Mother. That is the entire point of the photo! Couldn't you have put 5 more of those flat bits into the set for 55 bucks?
@codybrumfield That is great, but the stack has to be as tall as she is!
@codybrumfield
Wonderful!
Does the Lego set not contain enough bricks to show how big the pile actually was? :-)
