  • Margaret Elaine Hamilton (née Heafield; born August 17, 1936) is an American computer scientist, systems engineer, and business owner. She was director of the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo program. She later founded two software companies—Higher Order Software in 1976 and Hamilton Technologies in 1986, both in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

    Hamilton has published more than 130 papers, proceedings, and reports, about sixty projects, and six major programs. She invented the term “software engineering”, stating “I began to use the term ‘software engineering’ to distinguish it from hardware and other kinds of engineering, yet treat each type of engineering as part of the overall systems engineering process.”

    On November 22, 2016, Hamilton received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from president Barack Obama for her work leading to the development of on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Moon missions.

    Huh, didn’t know about her! She sounds like a badass lady!

    Have they said that or are you just implying that? It’s beta right now but I’d put money on them following in Google’s footsteps and integrating right into the main search.

    It’s enshitification because instead of simply fixing their crappy SEO laden results, they’re pushing this new thing.

    I’m also willing to bet that once it’s out of beta there will be either a limit on free searches or it’ll just be straight up subscription model.

    And just like that, normal search is dead, and the only viable option is to pay for their new thing
