He says:

> I wrote ehtim (eht-imaging) as a python framework for implementing regularized maximum likelihood imaging methods on EHT data. In the last two years, it has evolved into a flexible environment for manipulating, simulating, analyzing, and imaging interferometric data and is a workhorse of the EHT’s data analysis pipeline.

At first I thought the image was being disingenuous by cherry-picking commits to highlight, but take a look for yourself, she really did mostly just modify plotting, add options and fix bugs:

There's nothing wrong with that, but claiming that she is "behind the software" is just bullshit.



and also doing stuff like computing Fourier matrices:

But who's counting, right? Seems that you have to not only manage the team writing the software, but you also have to write the entire software to get credit.
