Jason Rekulak Quote
Girls practically invented programming, she said. Jean Bartik, Marlyn Wescoff, Fran Bilas—they all programmed ENIAC. I had no idea what she was talking about. And don’t forget Margaret Hamilton. She wrote the software that let Apollo 11 land on the moon. I meant programming video games, I said. Dona Bailey, Centipede. Brenda Romero, Wizardry. Roberta Williams, King’s Quest. She designed her first computer game at the kitchen table. I interviewed her for school last year.
