Margaret Hamilton had a very important and productive role, and deserves the honor. But no, one person did not write all the Apollo code.

When my dad underwent chemo, I shaved my head in sympathy. He didn't lose his hair. And I have a Prof. Farnsworth scalp.

I studied computer graphics at Univ. of Utah back in the 90s. What's going on these days in the business is miraculous.
