You know why we call it SWE (Software Engineering)? Due to Margaret Hamilton, one exceptional CS pioneer.
Lead SWE of the Apollo Space Mission, Margaret recently gave the keynote at the 40th International Conference on SWE.

I adore this old photo of her, standing next to the printout & punch cards containing the program she wrote for the Apollo program: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Margaret_Hamilton_-_restoration.jpg/440px-Margaret_Hamilton_-_restoration.jpg
