mhoyeA picture of Margaret Hamilton, programmer for the Apollo space program, standing next to not one single microsoft error message or bluetooth problem.
On a more serious note, I didn't realize that Hamilton coined the term "software engineer".

@mhoye didn't know that either.
Honestly man the more I learn about women in computing in history, the madder I am about the state of tech today.
Third spruce tree on the leftYeah. Grace Hopper, the women of Bletchley Park, the "hidden figures" of NASA like Katherine Johnson who did the math to put Glenn in orbit and Dorothy Vaughn who ran the computers (the movie is ok, but total white savior bullshit).
I want to see more women in charge of tech. I want more badass tech-sisters running things.

@hosebei @tezoatlipoca @sarajw "I've heard of one woman who did a bad thing, therefore structural and historical sexism don't exist."
@mhoye No indeed - but I think the point was we don't simply need "techsis" to take the place of "techbro" - but having a lot more women around in general in the industry and these companies would be... better.
Maybe I misunderstood 🤷
@sarajw it does not matter which gender is at the top of those companies, those people are all bad minded, regardless of the gender.
so please enlight me why gender does change the mind of a filthy money driven mule?

Erdsternyou know, like many others that are being discriminated against, I’m extremely tired of educating the privileged. If you’re not simply sealioning (and I’m not sure about that), you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about, so please go ahead and educate yourself about male, white privilege.
