She did computer stuff… She’s smart enough to not fuck with anything that has followers.

Hate to tell you, but like most people who do computer stuff still use social media. I mean the linux kernel has it’s own lemmy instance.

She was the first software engineer who was hired for the project and did write a good chunk of the code. She was more than someone who simply delegates and leads. Hell, she is the one who coined the term software engineer. She played a hell of a role in the history of software development. Let’s not try to diminish that.
