So it is false that she married the manager? Is it false that she entered the role after the moon landing project was mostly finished?
> at about the worst possible moment,

I was talking about timing of the HN comment, not the tweet.
As you can easily see from the HN thread, yes, it is false that she was (as claimed in the tweet) hired for an entry level role in 1968. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50002873
Who she was married to is neither here nor there, and you are doing your case no favors by fixating on that.
> you are doing your case no favors by fixating on that.
If it doesn’t matter then surely you have no concerned with sharing it? (with the corrected manager title date)
I think you may have a personal bias on this topic.
That's already in the comment that I linked to. There are records of her contributing to the codebase as early as 1966, and she's cced in the minutes of a senior management meeting in 1967, so the claim in the tweet that she was hired for an entry-level role in 1968 is clearly false. As is the claim that "her name does not appear [on the command module software] until 1969".
