Margaret Hamilton's leadership in software engineering during the Apollo program significantly advanced the field of software engineering.

Oh no! "Margaret Hamilton, a profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT during NASA’s Apollo program, died on Sep. 30. She was 90. A computing pioneer who authored over 130 publications, Hamilton helped to establish software engineering as a dedicated discipline." We all remember her from these iconic pictures. https://news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-hamilton-computing-pioneer-dies-1007 https://news.mit.edu/2016/scene-at-mit-margaret-hamilton-apollo-code-0817 1/n

RIP Margaret Hamilton, software engineer extraordinaire. "We had to find a way and we did. Looking back, we were the luckiest people in the world; there was no choice but to be pioneers." - Hamilton on the Apollo 11 mission https://news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-hamilton-computing-pioneer-dies-1007

Margaret Hamilton passed away on September 30, 2026, at the age of 90. Her passing was announced by MIT on October 7, 2026, honoring her legacy as a computing pioneer whose work led the software development for the Apollo program and helped establish the field of software engineering. She is survived by her daughter, son-in-law, two grandsons, and four great-grandchildren, with a memorial service planned in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Margaret was the first female programmer in the project, joining in 1965, and later became Director of the Software Engineering Division. Her problem approach of "When you see a problem, first count to five," sticks with me still. 🥲💙 #Software #WomenInStem
