it's very petty of me but one of the comments on my grant proposal was that critiquing the tendency toward Great Man narratives of computer history is "overdrawn and out of date" and I'm sorry, in a world where people think Elon Musk is smart there is definitely still value in critiquing Great Men narratives imo??
@ingrid You are very correct.
@ingrid No, if anything most of them would say it's even more necessary than ever because regardless of the awards and even increased public profile of the counters, people KEEP DOING IT
