She wrote all this code by hand to take humanity to the Moon

Margaret Hamilton, NASA's lead developer for Apollo program, stands next to all the code she wrote by hand that took humanity to the moon in 1969
Including comments on the code with expressions like "Crank the silly thing arround", "see if he's lying", "off to see the wizard" and a sub-routine called "burnbaby". More here: https://www.sciencealert.com/the-code-that-took-astronauts-to-the-moon-is-now-on-github
She's definitely a legend.
That is cool. There is really wild stuff in here, like in the landing guidance equations
If I was an Astronaut, I think I'd reconsider going up if someone told me there was even one "I Hope" in the math.
"Are you sure about that Margaret?"
"Who the fuck knows, Buzz, I'm doing my fucking best, okay?!"
