Finally, a heroine I have sung praises of many times over: Lynn Conway. Her contributions are twofold: the first instance of superscalar computing, and the research and innovation in the space of VLSI which unlocked mass manufacturing of integrated circuits, making the world of modern computers possible.

One of the most brilliant computer scientists has passed. Your story was an inspiration to so many, for so many reasons.

Wow, RIP, I wouldn't have my career if it weren't for the Mead-Conway revolution in VLSI

Lovely tribute Cassie. 

We should celebrate such bright and often unrecognized achievements in the life of a pioneer.  100 $degen. 💜
