Why do codethots like Ada Lovelace and Margaret Hamilton get so much more attention than actual female pioneers in computing like Grace Hopper?

jews

Because women only care about flashy topics like being the first (lol) or the Moon landing.

She is militar.

While none of them contributed anything, we still have a moral obligation to pretend that they did. The last thing we need is a society of people who feel shitty because of an inferiority complex. It doesn't do us any good in the long run.

this question reflects a deep detachment from reality and you should definitely take your meds

>Grace Hopper

The most based granny in all of existence.

Nvidia just released a superchip named after her.

Damn, she's more badass than 99% of 4chan.

>PhD

>Navy Admiral in the 40s (huge bonus to social status at that time)

>Got to work on the first big computer in history

>Helped lay the foundations of programming

>Still humble

>Mind still sharp in her 60s

>Lived well into her 80s

She's more based than 99% of /g/ combined

More like 100%. She still gets overlooked, but when the dust settles, she'll be standing alongside the giants of the industry. Most legends don't become recognized until long after death

Very interdasting.

>women

>care for real things over simulations

Lol!

Wait, what did she do as an admiral?

Probably organised a bunch of ships i think is the usual thing

>>92983647 (OP)

Because those have been pushed as "muh grill computer geniuses" to oblivion and women are always turbonormalniggers so they only know what they get fed.

>>92983647 (OP)

Because she actually did something important, so the demoralization wouldn't be effective

>>92983647 (OP)

Grace Hopper wasn't young or pretty when she created COBOL. That's the real reason.

>>92983647 (OP)

Because Hopper was a Lieutenant Commander at the time, doing practical shit on the ground floor. To be fair, a lot of what she "invented" is hyped up too, but her contributions to COBOL can't be denied. Futher, she was dragged kicking and screaming into the limelight in the 1970s when (what we now call) "herstory" was starting up.



And therein lies her problems. She wasn't some attention whore - she wanted to serve her country, and bashed on the enlistment office door over and over and over again until they relented and let her in. She wasn't doing anything flashy - she just wanted to make these new machines more useful. And - as mentioned - she really didn't perform anything truly groundbreaking.



The squeaky wheel is the one that gets the grease, and Countess Lovelace and Hamilton were happy to toot their own horns about how fucking important they were, honest - and let's be frank, were quite a bit easier on the eyes than Hopper - and lamestream media, and the women they have pandered to for almost a century, gobbled it up like the one-dimensional NPCs they (almost) always are.

How not? Where are those other "thots" own named navy ships? US Nave Rear Admiral Grace Hopper is quite respected and known.

And COBOL is very much relevant still.

Honestly is this.
