People will say that "lines of code written" isn't a good measure. - But even then, what did she do?
The algorithm wasn't developed by her, it was from a japanese team. She didn't really write anything good into the code, just the ability to change the color and font size of the bar.
She copied someone else's code.
What did she do? Why is she important?
Some will say: "She was the team leader" - But she wasn't. She was the leader of ONE of the many teams. - This was the leader: https://bhi.fas.harvard.edu/people/avi-loeb
So, again, what did she do? We now know that she:
- Didn't write much of the code.
- The stuff that she wrote, was only for the User Interface
- She copied someone else's code.
- She wasn't the leader of the project.
- The algorithm wasn't her idea.
So, what exactly does she get credit for? For being a member of the team? - I understand that, but then why don't the others?

Ding, ding, ding. This is exactly how science can be broken. By having the mediator of pop-science media come between it and the public, to push the political narrative rather than the truth. Just like how the story now is that three black women are what got John Glenn into space. If you control the press, you can write history.

For being a female associated with a high visibility technical project, at a time when the narrative desperately needs 'role models' to deceive impressionable girls who might otherwise not choose to waste their lives on a glamorous programming 'career'.
The actual woman in the story is an accomplished engineer and no doubt very qualified. However, the hype is all about her being a female in a STEM field.

The idea is to promote and reinforce a conflict narrative with the end goal being oligarchical globalism controlled by bankers.
The narrative is Women (or any minority group) are smart and are natural top engineers and would achieve greatness, but the white patriarchy must be swept away in order to achieve this and that means nationalism must surrender to global governance by a diverse set of unaccountable corrupt not very smart puppet teleprompter readers who you will love and respect no matter what they do because they are members of your race/gender/ethnicity/sexual orientation.

Meanwhile that cuck who wrote 90% of it says we need to give her a break and give her the credit!

Right, all of these guys in the sciences saw what happened to Alessandro Strumia just for saying that men built physics. Which is entirely true. He stated a fact and lost his job.
If these guys want their jobs, they have to play ball, or face the wrath of political correctness.

It's called the "one drop" principle. If a woman or a black person contributed in any way, it becomes a "female accomplishment" or a "black accomplishment." Like with the movie Hidden Figures and the lunar landing, or how blacks built the White House according to Michelle Obama because they provided raw materials and did some unskilled manual labour.

It wasn't even one percent. It was a quarter of one percent and no one knows if she actually wrote it or what it did

Obama only 50% black. Blacks get 100% credit.
That's what happens when you're desperate for any kind of accomplishment and libtards are desperate to give you credit for anything.

He's 0% black. Blacks are American. Niggers are worldwide. American blacks are American niggers. African niggers are African niggers.
Obama is an African nigger. None of his nigger ancestry ever set foot on American soil.
No American black's descendants have ever ascended to the presidency.
If they had, there would be no doubt of their birth certificate or country of origin.
