In this episode, we honor Pride Month by sharing the extraordinary story of Lynn Conway.

In the 1960s, while working at IBM, Lynn had a flash of insight that solved a critical problem: how to enable a supercomputer to execute multiple instructions simultaneously, even when dependent on prior instructions. Her invention, known as dynamic instruction scheduling (DIS), would later become a foundation of modern computing. Yet in 1968, IBM fired her for being transgender. Lynn was forced to start over, eventually re-emerging years later as the co-author of a textbook that revolutionized microchip design and helped spark the personal computing era. Listen in to learn how Lynn Conway built the future while hiding from her past and how she ultimately reclaimed her rightful place in history.
