Computer codes that transformed science

Apparently it's about computer science / information technology contributions to science as a whole:

    Fortran compiler 
    Fast Fourier transform 
    Biological databases 
    General circulation model of the climate 
    BLAS 
    NIH Image / ImageJ / Fiji 
    BLAST 
    arXiv 
    IPython Notebook / Jupyter 
    AlexNet

Interesting that they do not list the internet itself.

I would like to nominate several newer software-heavy projects that have moved humanity forward.

    * CERN LHC
    * Event Horizon Telescope
    * LIGO

LIGO used my computer code (pyglobus) to move data around! I was very proud of that.

I think the OP was referring to the unfortunate phrasing.

For a publication like Nature to use baby-talk phrasings that are just semantic nonsense.

Im not a native English speaker, but I would be embarrassed if I wrote that headline.

For a scientist who uses computers but not to write software, it's probably forgivable. It seems even more forgivable for a journalist.
