That's really sad news :(

I'll just leave this photo here, it's here beside the code they wrote for the Apollo mission taking humanity to the moon. They really did some outstanding work there, without any of the helpers we are used to in the last centuries.

She was such a badass. Rest in power, Margaret.

Godspeed Mrs. Hamilton!

To me she was as much a rockstar as Jagger, Meat Loaf or the Beatles. Her work paved the way for so many developments in software engineering.

May she rest peacefully amongst the stars she helped to draw into mankind's reach
