also a 29 year old female grad student helped make the algorithm that made the pic possible!
A grad student made the viral black hole photo possible
A white male wrote 850K of the 900K lines of code and everyone is giving the credit to the female. Total bullshit, but expected.
^^^bingo...
She certainly did help, but I think the media is really hyping her up while ignoring the other key contributors. Andrew Chael wrote a majority of the code.

He ran out of white privilege and ultra male dominance at 850k.
Especially for an algorithm like this, not every line is code. He’s obviously smart and deserving, but a “line” is not necessarily code. A couple thousand lines from one coder can have more actual code than a hundred thousand likes from someone else.
Nonetheless, this is amazing lol.

From reading on another site Mareki Honma should actually get most of the credit.
a quote about it
Damn, reading more into this and the broad didn't contribute to the algorithm or the imaging. She wrote a subroutine that converted data from one format to another.
She wasn't the lead in any capacity, the leads were Kazunori Akiyama and Andrew Chael (the guy that wrote the bulk of it). Mareki Honma created the algorithm in 2012 and uploaded it to Github. Andrew Chael asked him for permission to use it and Mareki, along with a large team, helped them to adapt it.
There's a lot to go over here. But the bottom line here is that we were lied to about this chick. Her contribution to the overall project was insignificant
