Found a three-hour oral history interview of #MargaretHamilton recorded by the Computer History Museum in 2017. Here's the part where she talks about the incident I mentioned from _Hackers_ chapter 5, and the MIT hackers in general. youtube.com/watch?v=6bVRytYSTE… The annotated transcript of the whole interview, unfortunately in PDF, is here: computerhistory.org/collection…

Why I'm thinking about #MargaretHamilton today is a long story. But basically, I remembered how Steven Levy portrayed her in _Hackers_ (chapter 5, "The Midnight Computer Wiring Society"), knew she deserved better, and wanted to learn more.

I see from the Wikipedia article about #MargaretHamilton that she's still alive, now 89 years old. I wonder what she thinks about what the industry that still calls itself software engineering (her term) has become. I should do some more searching and find out if she has talked about it in recent years.
