Unlike others, I had heard of him and while most of the work is ports, ports can be a lot of work. I heard the story of the 3DO port of Doom and how little support and time he was given still turned out a halfway decent port (it was the worst Doom port, but the story is still fun)

At the time (this was years ago) I found it a bit out of the ordinary that this famous, old-school programmer was a woman. Didn't look into any further, but it did stick out as an anomaly.

Now, the story makes sense. Autistic white man.
