Margaret Hamilton and the Code That Reached the Moon

Original: Before Computer Science Became a Boys' Club, Margaret Hamilton Wrote the Code

A New York Times piece revisits Margaret Hamilton, the software engineer who led the development of the onboard flight software for NASA's Apollo missions. The article traces how her work in the 1960s helped land humans on the Moon before computer programming became a male-dominated field, and reflects on her legacy for women in technology today.

Why now: Interest in the history of women in computing and Hamilton's pioneering Apollo work, likely renewed by the article's publication.
