(7/7) more about black holes and other subjects I am passionate about -- including space, being a gay astronomer, Ursula K. Le Guin, architecture, and musicals. Thanks for following me, and let me know if you have any questions about the EHT!

(Also I did not write "850,000 lines of code" -- many of those "lines" tracked by github are in model files. There are about 68,000 lines in the current software, and I don't care how many of those I personally authored)
my favorite response. keep up the good work! exciting stuff.pic.twitter.com/xALzytmIP2
Everything Bouman (and how she keeps crediting the whole team and specially those juniors) and the rest of you all did was amazing. We got a pic of a black hole! Congrats to the team and hope some people will drop their stupidity.
I'm laughing my ass of cause github shows that I've committed a HUGE amount to a project I just joined due to DB dumps. Using this statistic to attack someone who's put in countless hours is so dumb that's its laughable.
I love how they measure the effort and complexity of code based on the volume of "lines" ... very weak metric, IMO ... particularly in discussing a project of this nature :\
Agreed. The only thing you could call programming that I’ve done was AutoLISP, and the whole purpose of it (and engineering) is to do it as concisely as possible so it has the fewest points if failure. I feel like more lines of code as a bragging point is more of a self-insult.
Really, the problem is just people wanting to scapegoat others for their agenda; some media sources are pushing Katie as the "brains" of the experiment, while others are pointing it at you. Any actual programmer worth their salt knows nobody can author 850k lines of code, solo.
It was a collaborative effort that both you, Katie, and your team put endless hours into. Where's the recognition with those guys? Social media and crappy news continues to bar scientists from the equal recognition of work that they deserve.
Programmers who use lines of code as a metric are missing the entire point anyway. Good thread, thanks Andrew!
In any case, one should probably be recognized more for writing less code.
Thanks for dispelling the sexist nonsense, giving credit where it's due and putting the science front and center where it should be.
Remarkable human being. Brilliant and humble. A rare combination. Thank you!
You may not care, but I think it's important that history gets it right and remembers the true creators of the novelty. History has been wrong too many times, in many cases against underrepresented groups in STEM. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Judging from the replies a very important point about women in STEM that deserves attention is whooshing over people’s heads and we’re going to debate the specious “all lives matter” logic again.
Yes, it is amazing to see people like you stand up for your colleagues and fellow scientists. I wish the best for you all and can't wait to see what y'all can do!! 
You’re team is awesome! You guys are why I got into computer science 23 years ago, warp speed or punch it Chewie! Whichever is appropriate.
Lines of code isn't a useful metric. Some may say the fewer the better. Anyway, thanks for the nice pics though
