RIP to a legend and a reminder that this field was pioneered by women as much, if not more, than men.
RIP Margaret Hamilton, director of software engineering for the Apollo program. She coined the term “software engineering”. I vividly remember her keynote at ICSE 2018 in Sweden. She signed her lego set for one of my kids. She was an inspiration to many. nytimes.com/2026/10/07/obituar…
Oh no! "Margaret Hamilton, a profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT during NASA’s Apollo program, died on Sep. 30. She was 90. A computing pioneer who authored over 130 publications, Hamilton helped to establish software engineering as a dedicated discipline." We all remember her from these iconic pictures. news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-ham… news.mit.edu/2016/scene-at-mit… 1/n
